*** Help ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

in the end all there is, is me
I'm screaming for help, why can't you see ?
all I hear is defeatist sounds
everywhere I look, I see betrayal abounds
help I so desperately desire
instead of helping me, I come under fire
as a result I batten the hatches
I believe in myself that's all that matters
marching on one day at a time
I wanted to help others, is this a crime ?
refuge or prison it's hard to define
the taste left in my mouth is asinine
just as well on myself I can depend
for there is only me left, in the end
