Obligations

Fleeting around a dirty patch

seeking dismal scraps

Yellow eyes darting specks bumbling

like a pigeon, I used to only sit

after the bounty filled me

now i am less afraid

of competition

or activity

or change

The Fall Down to New Heights –

A journey starts from the womb

With every year, a chance for gloom

Age 7, life is heaven

Age 13, not so keen

Now at 20, I am with my crew

Working hard, it’s what I do

27, out of the service looking for work

Looking back, I am happy I was not a jerk

3 jobs later, I am sitting with you all

After my life has taken a big fall

I look forward, to better things

As I get a new job and sprout new wings

I never quit from a fight

For I will overcome to reach New Heights
