Lack of absence

I’ve been trying, trying to do

my laundry, but I could not find the soap.

I found out, the soap was not paid, for, yet.

You cannot wash clothes without being paid.

An absence of respect, is a secrecy

because I am selling only, half the truth.

Half a piece of soap, has not worked, already

as I see it, today!

I’ll never forget, how I tried to forget.
