"The Morning Cup of Lies"
I serve coffee to the zombie mob
I hand the cup out with a smile
ignore the selfish snob
that throws her pennies in a pile
My eyes do not lie
Her sitting in her PJ's
Her hair up in a tie
I know she isn't working
Her husband slaves away
She sits at home still lurking
At her husband's amount of pay
She sees his extra statements
For the house down in the city
She ignores the house payments
Lost in her own pity
Knowing she drinks her Starbucks
In her house all by herself
She thought she was the prize
Now she's just a trophy on the shelf
