When Confronting Tough Times

When confronting and experiencing tough times,
That’s when you know who your friends are.
When you are broke with no dollars, no dimes;
When you are struggling, fighting an internal war;
That’s when you know the true meaning
Of family members: brothers and sisters.
When you’re facing judge, jury and a calamity of rumors;
When alone at night, you’re trying to avert disasters;
Fighting the system and standing like a nerd, in the ring,
In front of a raging bull or a prowling tiger, which can wring
Your neck and eat your soul; annihilate you in a matter of a second;
You feel weak and wet; you’re being tossed in a pond
Infested of alligators, snakes and other predators,
Hell is your destination; you see no light of hope;
You are caput and done; forget about dope,
It can compound the problems; the creatures,
Around you, seem to be alive and real;
You cannot breathe comfortably, you feel
That you are dead, discouraged to fight the war;
That’s when you know who your friends are.
When you are broke, with no dollars, no dimes,
When confronting and experiencing tough times,
That’s when you know who your relatives are.
