Writing in The Dark

Money destroys

By Keith McHughPublished about a year ago 1 min read
"Natures Play" 11x14 acrylic by Keith McHugh

Sacrificing my joy,

Trying to employ,

A new outlook on life,

Changing how i deploy,

Thoughts to enjoy,

What comes in life,

Trying not to destroy,

What I built with joy,

From the sorrows of life,

Fooled by their decoy,

Since I was just a boy,

Blinded and beaten by life,

Grown tired of the ploy,

I rise to destroy the convoy.

Springing my trap unknowingly.

Your walls annoy me,

Using money to Destroy,

The true joys of life.
