Poetry: Humanity

by Kurt Kemp

Created on: August 02, 2009

A Work In Progress

Just a work in progress
Getting better all the time
Jamming out n' drinking beers
Just trying to unwind

Talkin bout religion token on the pipe

Thoughts of everything living
The usual bitch & gripe

Night and day spent on the road
But I don't know where I'm going

I wind up in a bar someplace
Some sixty miles away
I smoked my last cigarette just the other day
This drunken man slides up to me
Asks me to spare a dime

I lay some change down on the bar
Slowly walk away
Somehow he reminds me
I'll never forget that night

I'm just a work in progress
Getting better all the time
Jamming out n' drinking beers
Just trying to unwind
