Street People

oops

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 |
