Simple thoughts of a common man... Free verse, my style.
Just another day....
by Dreamdancer
A young boy came to me as I was pumping gas
and he asked do you have bus fare I could have and the pain in his eyes told me a story of today ten thousand miles to nowhere dreams banished before they are birthed tell me where do we go from here The old man limping between cars waiting for the light to change one hand steadying an old cane the other holding a cardboard sign spare change will help god bless a story of today a godless world as he is forgotten when the light turns green The young girl laying on her back legs spread to feed a habit the broken man filling her with his seed tears fall one from loneliness and shame the other from a broken soul Tell me where do we go from here when here is the only place we know.... |
