A Man’s Pride
I remember a time
When finding and holding a job
Was sacred to pay the bills
Living from paycheck to paycheck
Supporting your family
Under the control of a system
That could make and break you
Fire you and promote your wife
Robbing you from your pride
As a man, a husband and a provider
Falling victim to sub activities
Of crime, drugs and alcohol
Landing you in jail
