Gratitude goes the extra mile..

To bed at one in the AM
Awoke at 5 still alive
Grateful to be at work
Least I can play my role
In the camp of dissatisfied souls
Grateful to have a sandwich
Grateful to have a car to drive
Grateful that I'm getting robbed
Paying over inflated rent
Grateful none the less
Grateful I got out of bed


Dr. Wonder meowed goodbye
He didn't care I was leavin
Just wanted that canned food
Should of just called him EatNshits
Grateful for him
Grateful I was blessed

People be talkin about some celebrity
Bangin her opinion over a microphone
Talking about bullies in politics
I'm in my car scratching my ass
Wonderin what cave she slithered from
We're bombing countries on the daily
Murdering people
Human beings
Children left for dead
The rich are delusional
Some fantasy island
Have another Mai Tai on the beach
I'm grateful I don't follow the circus
Grateful I don't need a political savior
Grateful I see the cockroaches

The past fifty years
Where have have people been?
The concern is bullying in politics
That's all America is
We leave our own to rot on a street
Our judicial system trains police
Shoot first
Bullets are cheaper than paper
The value is on our profit margin
To hell with life
We can poison the water
There's an abundance on Mars
I'm grateful I'm alive in the era
When gods walk among us in suits
I'm grateful I'm not blind
Like a garden mole
I'm grateful I can see
Grateful the truth isn't behind a cage
Grateful my life isn't about consuming
Paying attention to gains
Im not rich
Not by any means
Living paycheck to paycheck
One check from homeless
I'm grateful this week I can pay rent

The little guy on Facebook
He's about nine
Bald is his head
Pale the color of his skin
Just wants to get some likes
I'm grateful he can still wear a smile
Grateful he won't remember the pain
Grateful he won the fight
Well least for now
Gave him a like
My little guy went through the same
I'm grateful the lesson it taught me

I'm going to eat my yogurt
It's my breakfast
It's not much
Nothing special
Just some shit on sale at Ralphs
It's good for my tummy
I'm grateful I can eat something
Lot of people going hungry
Lot of people can't feed their family
I remember that well
Know that pain first hand
Want to kill a man dead
Remove his ability to feed his fam
Quarter up some ramen
Boil the chicken bones
No meat goes to spoil
I'm grateful I survived that hell
Grateful I made it out
Grateful I lost it all
Grateful it showed me what I never had
Grateful for everything good and bad

Grateful this is the end
