A Working Man's Sharade
 

A Working Man's Sharade

I see my reflection in friends, a pen scratches a checklist,
Touque and torn mittens, check, panhandling a deathwish,
Check. People toss biscuits, which I always take for granted
I never meant to be helpless, it just sort of...happened.
To sum it up in a sentence, would be beyond comprehension
Relieving some of the tension, I would leave an impression...
Wifey's not stressed about pension, now I've got the scratch
If a picture says 1000 words, how long will this sharade last?
The first half of my day, I preach lies and false exclamations
My wife thinks I've been promoted, working for our nation
But I steal with patience, tax scandals were never an option
With media watchin', you can't scam a convict at a police auction
So I turned to street talkin, for overtime pay from the oblivious
Escapin from from politics, usin my makeup kit to be inconspicious
Monday's I act hungry "Im starving, please, help out the needy..",
What I mean to say is "I need a big screen t-v, come on, im greedy!"
Stealin tax-payers money, now even the green of the homeless
With all the foodstamps I make, I can even recieve free lunches!
Following my hunches, I keep away from the actual unfortunate
Seen body's bend to pre-portion rations like they contortionists
Really I need to be aborting this, people are dying cause of me
Probably falling to their knees but I can't live without paws in green
So every day, a new scene, I wear a new wig, a new demonstration
I act homeless with patience, saving up for my dream vacations
But everytime I hear the phrases: "Empty your pockets or die bitch"
I think it's just another example of how politics lie to get rich.

wow, this was a nice piece

cool story being told, didn't like the flow at times, thought some syllable counts were off a little, but overall, nice piece, i liked it...and the way you approached the topic as well...good name of the topic too, really put meaning infront of what was to come....

but i cant get over the closer, how it just hits ya and leaves you to think of the mass corruption in life these days, and how easily it can be compared to other aspects in life....overall, nice drop man

keep up

thanks for the feedback.............

Word I was feelin this. Nice original topic... Well used vocabulary... I thought it flowed fine. Closer was nice and hard, which complements this type of verse. Shit was good.

9/10

bump this...........
