And take the midget with you

you and the midget must go

the greed you attract makes me ill

it follows you

and you follow me

as I attempt to deliver

parcels of hope and smiles

after life’s storms

the clouds part ways

the sun peeks out

and there I am

and there you are

weighing me down

with your pipe dreams

your shiny contents tease those

drunk with the notion

you will allow them to own something

that leaves when I do

I grow weary of it

so go

and take the midget with you
