Departments International Issues Out of my Peripheral I saw a man kicking a rock in despair,- As he awaited his chariot of situation, battled with plight- A sign read: Bus 319 troubles to bare- A women with hair of colored rosary, carried bags as her man followed- In a parking lot of the grocery- On the concrete world of a sleepy hollow- The wind spoke not of shivery- I found a book on the ground, next to a homeless man- Pages torn by years from life's jail- The great escape, Angola bound- No P.O. Box, no place for mail- Under the street light around a quarter pass one- Sounds of children, having fun- Whos in charge of their day to day- Showing them the way, of how the life of tomorrow could be won- In my fathers house I see many people- Shapes, colors, and shades, heads bowed, looking down- Waiting for the strike of the clock- To adjourn to their other life, somewhere back on the block- Away from the face of a religious frown- For this daily false happiness they earn and yearn- Naive they are, to think they can allude- I be Socrates of the new world, the asker of questions- A watcher for years- But not a righteous one, have my eyes interviewed- For no one is wiser than the wise above- I do see people trying to be something they are not- The have knots- With champagne dreams, so it seems- Beer money living on a whim, week to week- Playing the game, trying to just connect the dots- Out of my peripheral, I see the world at its worst- A million people, crowded in a place of unknowing- Trying to get to somewhere, first- Which way is up or which way is down- Not paying a damn attention, to where their going- Out of my peripheral, I see the world in false renown- |
