why dont we give houses away?

why dont we give houses away?

A Poem by butterfly

Why  don't we give houses away
Why do we make each other pay
When we know we can't take it with us after death comes to claim
Wouldn't it be better living and creating a better world
With enough homes for each boy and girl
I heard Drew Barrymore's therapist says that sex is not love but an expression of love
How can something be an expression of what it is not?
I feel we are all clueless down here
We are just acting out without stop
Without pause for considering all who love in the same atmosphere
We protest the violence
The nonsense that takes innocent black guys
Yet we took a pause to watch the 49ers play
The quarterbacks were injured and the eagles made the finish line
Why cant love stay
Why can't I receive what we both tried to make
I sense we ran out of matches and the wind blows out the flame
We died no more butterflies no more fairy tale
A new guy asked me out to the Castro I didnt want to go
I dont want it if its not you
But you dont exist
you cut me heart and spirit
be careful with those casual games we play
no amount of alcohol can fix it
I have no where to go
I must remain on this earth that is a mystery to know
Once the fortune teller said I was an angel on a peaceful plane I got to float
Feeling sweet serenity but now I walk a lonely road
Because you probably never loved me
Im always failing at love
Loving the wrong one
Where is my sweet someone
my caretaker
why do I always end up with a heart breaker
How can so many humans not care
the new guy asked me to talk on the phone
I dread it because I dont want to be alone
All I want is you
I am still so crazy for you
but you gone for good
now the game is won
all the charm is gone
now all we see is the lavender haze
covering up this blown up maze
why do so many allow Putin to blow up ukraine
why do the police kills so many black guys when we protest it day after day
why did I receive the love I tried to make
we will never know just like we will never know why we dont give houses away?
