Reality

[vulture]

Reality is nine hour shifts on the floor
Ever a ginning spinning dervish
After my piece of the American Pie
Losing myself to the all mighty dollar
Intensely exhausted by days end
To return home happily to him
Yearning for this reality

~*~

Reality is he works from home
Ever half broken to my half crippled
After his piece of the American Pie
Losing himself to the all mighty dollar
Intensely exhausted by days end
Tiredly awaiting my return
Yearning for this reality

~*~

Reality this reality that
Ever we were and are human
Always, nothing more nor less
Losing more ground some days than we gain
Intensely thankful for what we have found
Trying together is better than trying alone
Yearning for this reality we now call home

~*~

Reality is taking stock
Evaluating what we have on hand
And what we can do without now
Leveling the playing field by saving
Intensely aware tomorrow isn't promised us
Today and this moment is all we have together
Yet, we still dream of something more

"Reality" is fluidic
It's shorthand for "It's been my experience that... yadda yadda yadda."
Our thoughts and experiences feed into the reality that we experience.

Some people have had it rougher than others,
but some people think only their experiences matter...

I can feel this all too well...it is never us but what happens to us at times and what we must do sometimes for our little "slice"....I so like the whirling dervish image and pie....but better move fast for much like hitting the fan that pie gets minced up good.....
