This Georic Life
by Jim Nasium
I have grown very sick
of life here on her families farm
the government money that they took
has done little good, and too much harm
Their not allow to grow what they want
I hate this this georic life
I think it's time to move away
maybe even leave the wife
far behind to live her
agriculture, rural life
I never was a farmer
never needed a wife
that wanted me to do the things
that all the others do
to work and save and plan ahead
for a future for we two
I am not a farmer
just because I'm outstanding in my field
I got to find a place to hide
my wounds need time to heal
short and sweet but to the point
this, my poem with the word of the day
has been written twice already
and has said all that I need to say
