Ninety-Nine Reasons

by mrgrunty

Bolted horses counting hens
we're off to work and back again
Recognition of the day
with hope that there's another way

Alabaster coloured skies
are visible through winter's eyes
Dreaming wishes will come true
the wasted wishes worn by you

Making planning saving face
the hardened spine a saving grace
First to falter last to choose
accept the fact that you will lose

Knee-jerk questions shoulder arms
creating answers greasing palms
Best intentions gone and spent
despairing at the one percent

Taking breaking stealing dreams
there is no recourse here it seems
Ninety-nine are brave and strong
yet one is power right or wrong

Counting horses bolted hens
forgive yourself and make amends
Recognition of the way 
while wishing hope and dreams to stay



Recognized
