Poor Mans’ Plea

Spare me just a dollar from my pitiful weekly wage

so I can buy myself a spot on the high society page

Lend me just an hour so that I can do as I please;

loan me a walk in the park through a tunnel of trees

Save me a small bit of hope so I don't have to try to cope

Show me a glimmer of what it looks like not to always hope

Excite me with a teaser about how bright my life can shine.

Help me find the tranquility that I'm told, one day will be mine.
