And That Is The Way It's Going To Be Poem by Aldo Kraas

And that is the way it's going to be
I gave her away and now I'm free
But he was the life i meant to lead there's nothing left of me but this
Is my melody and why must the day crawl by
Like this and why do we dwell on what we'll miss
I've got to be careful in what I wish for
Because he has more than me
And I have less than him
Because he works hard for his money
I am just a poet that sends messages to God and my people
