What is the day that gives to life the yearn of sleep I think it is a crippled man begging on the street
What is the night that sleeps to ease all the poets pain I think it is the dope that fills the fool's brain
Who stops to listen to music soft and sweet I think it is the children of the street
Who controls the weary souls fallen by the road I think it is the man who owns the all the gold
what can be done to solve this life's true history I think the slave is not the only one Who struggles to be free
What steps will be taken to clear the pathway I think many hide in the light of day
When trouble knocks upon the common door I think all types of vermin crawl out of cracks in the floor
Still life finds a way even the lowest soul smiles through love and light given freely each and every day

I really like this portrayal of basic life
------------------------------------------
This poem covers a myriad of things
the likes of which one always sings,
the pathos and dirt that creates all the hurt
Directed in thoughts for a feast by the kings

I sometimes use to sit in a park in Sydney Australia...just watching how people would walk past,step over or humiliate people of the streets.Such a sad thing to bear witness to.Young kids doped up and lost in their own make believe..This poem reminded of those times spent just watching ignorance and cruelty in full force.
Words of wisdom...Love it |
