Roller Coaster Infinity—The Ride of Her Life
A family poor from whence she came
To rear her own would be the same:
How does one teach what one does not know?
For not for not lack of love
As her love she does show
As her love she does show
And day after day, her love still grows
For not lack of effort
As her effort is great
As her effort is great
And effort, it seems, cannot change her fate
The cycle of life continues on
Roller Coaster Infinity—The Ride of Her Life
For not lack of dreams
For her dreams are all grand
For her dreams are all grand
But dreams, it seems, cannot save her plan
As one by one, her dreams all fail
Her life to continue to race the rails
For not lack of intelligence
As as she quickly learns
It's not what you know
It's who's in control!
As as she quickly learns
It's not what you know
It's who's in control!
For not lack of hope
As to hope she clings
As to hope she clings
To safe her children
So they may escape
So they may escape
Roller Coaster Infinity—The Ride of their Lives

I have had trouble writing this poem. My idea was the cycle of life that people in poverty continue to pass from generation to generation and is extremely difficult, if not impossible to break. :'(
