BILLS

I am aware.
I know my job.
I try to do right.
To give and not rob.

My money is tight.
Who's isn't these days?
So I try to work magic,
in quick stressful ways.

I make calls to people
I owe money to.
I explain my condition,
and after we're through.

They see my perspective.
They know I'm sincere.
They work out a plan,
and there goes my fear.

Where do you work?
How much do you make?
Do you have any kids?
This is how much we'll take.

Don't miss any payments.
Don't forget that date.
Because money is ours,
and we don't like to wait.

We're working with you,
now you work with us.
Don't make things hard.
No excuses, no fuss.

In time it will end,
and this too shall pass.
Then you'll have enough money,
to get a full tank of gas.
