HOPE POEM: "WHERE THE GRASS IS GREENER"(PART 1)

Dissatisfied with my present state low

I looked through my window 

Beyond the roof of the widow

Into a distant meadow 

And saw the lush green pasture 

So appealing, I'll be there for sure

Visa denied, I had to detour 

Nothing would stop the aroma of the distant shore

Nothing would deter the expedition allure

Some stuff I stole from store

And played a little whore 

That I might fulfill desire core

To pick dollars on the floor 

Food and cinemas without a bore

Tell father, family and friends I've gone on tour

Never to return to a state sour.

The poet persona spreads the luxurious life he desires as he looks out his window, gazing at the rich grass. He does not wish to visit his home-state after he reaches these wishes.
