Nowhere is a place like this
Proverbs 6:6 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;
observe her ways and be wise! Right here
Nowhere in the universe is a place like this.
Only understood by the ones who here exist.
A place where its own feelings become sinking sand.
Totally misunderstood by the rulers of the land.
It was sung years ago in the tune: “Walk a mile in my shoes”.
But no-one knows how it feels unless they pay their dues.
Working here far away constantly from family and friends
Always burning the candle, where possible, at both ends.
I like it here I heard before of someone who wastes the day.
This must be close to paradise is all I hear them quietly say.
Maybe they are right indeed as they change towards unable
All they hunger for is the good food on someone else’s table.
