    the young man

     

    A young man heading south, slipping off his mom’s arms

    Doesn’t know what to do

    He can see the world in her eyes, the smell of the rain as it pours

    It is the smell of a  hang man’s noose

    The living dead that he heard of when young

    It is now becoming true

     

    Home sweet home, why do you seem miles away

    I want to sit by the roses, and smell the cups of tea

    Why do you seem to drift away every time I come near

    I want to talk to you about what is happening to me

    I want to feel your breeze again on me

     

    Here there is only fear and loneliness, there is no more

    But you in me, all the whispers and shouts, the memories and denies

    I know you can hear me can come and set me free

     

    It is taking so long, minutes tick away like forever

    No sign for a hope yet, I could barely convince myself that I can still breath

    My mum says if you fear something, keep saying it

    Well mum that drop of water made a hole in the stone, because I am breathing they count me alive, the water now is getting dry and the hole is made in my soul,

     it  could now cut me through.

      

    The living dead that I heard of when young

    It is now becoming true

     

     

    ( bring them back to their families please)

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
