Hard Times Ain't Gonna Rule My Mind

I've paid my dues getting through
benignly I sat and watched dull rainy days
I look up to the sky and the time passes me by
blind for time in these daytime emotions
softly the blues moan and I think of rhymes
Hard Times Ain't Gonna Rule My Mind


these winds of change chill me right to the bone
put another pot coffee on,as I sit home alone
days are filled with real things like my prayers
softly I mumble to myself about my wants & cares
in my mind my needs are underlined
Hard Times Ain't Gonna Rule My Mind


endless revisions and the cigarettes are smoking by themselves
safe and isolated from this mean old world
hula-hoops & therapy groups
I stop the clock to remember only humans are kind
living inbetween intimacy vs. isolation of development in my time
Hard Times Ain't Gonna Rule My Mind
