Pipe Dreams by Sherece Usher

all under the upper hand
pinching pennies no dreams afloat
nothing left to the Poor and Damned
but faith and hope

come to Me all my lost
by the river lay your troubles down
your tears will not burn and no longer cost
for you are covered in the blood stitched gown

how does one live day to day
red yellow urgent calls
bills to pay
notices stuck on walls

crushed in the pipe is green
when life steals joy puff
here you are permitted to dream
the world is now kush

under the Upper Hand all will fail
faith in God and Drug induced tales
There is no escape none prevail
In an alternate universe we will sail
Hopes and Dreams entail
