Sometimes It's The Little Things Poem by Alonso Menendez

Once again, I'm one step ahead of disaster
But maybe I can get away if I run a bit faster
I can't seem to get off this hamster wheel
Now I am caught up in this devil's deal

The road to Heaven runs through the gates of Hell
If I am saved only time will tell
And while the devil hasn't claimed my soul
He still sure has taken his toll
But I haven't got time to worry about that now
I have to muddle through and find my way somehow

It feels like a hurricane trying to take me down
The water is rising and I'm scared I'll drown
The telephone ringing and it makes me afraid
My wallet is empty and the bills aren't paid

Knock, knock, knock, knocking at the front door
They smash your dreams and still want more
I just don't know how I will survive
It gets harder each day I'm alive
I just want to break down and cry
Life would be easier if I just die

This world can be such a terrible place
Everyone busy running in the rat race
Dog eat dog is just the way it goes
Nobody cares, so keep on your toes
The innocent pay while the guilty reap
There's a cry for justice, but she's asleep

That we learn one thing is what I pray
It really doesn't have to be this way
Is it so hard to lend a helping hand?
When someone is facing more than they can stand?

Have you ever felt the deck is stacked against you?
That you can't win no matter what you do?
Feeling dejected and like you're all alone
The world seems to have a heart of stone

But if just one person shows that they care
It can take away the feeling of utmost despair
And while it can't make everything alright
It can still pick you up and back in the fight

That's why I think that the key to our salvation
Could be a little kindness and consideration
A small gesture that may seem of little significance
But still, for someone else, it could make all the difference
