Analysis of Peril
In your eyes I''m the least important,
I''m bearing sleepless torture,
From weeks of cold through the weeks of scorture,
My hand held out, can you spare a dime?
Get a job expells from the mouth,
While greed on the mind,
You ponder the poor is lazy,
This you percieve all the time?
Wealth can make you crazy,
The lustre makes you blind,
A drug addict you may think automatic,
Still don''t offer to help,
It''s like a minnow being lost in the kelp,
You don''t know the pain someone''s heart felt,
Two ways your judgement caused death,
Blessings could''ve descended on you, but you gave none,
And a possible friend to you,
You didn''t make one, starvation and neglect
Are the perils that take someone.
