This poem requires a little context. In 1985, I was only 20 years old. I left home, joined a family and suddenly was thrust upon me all the responsibilities that entailed. A lot of really bad decisions were made! If I knew then what I understand now, I can’t imagine how different life might have been!

Bills
Bills
phone bills and
electric bills and
gas bills and
water bills and
sewage bills and
tax bills and
postage bills and
bills for this and
bills for that
All the lousy, expensive bills
because they all want money,
money for electricity,
money for gas,
money for money,
money for life,
money for love,
money for children,
money, money, money, money
I ain’t got no money
I need more money,
I beg for more money,
Please give me some money
so I can
Pay all these bills!
