LETTER FROM THE STREETS part 2

Of sleeping rough i've had enough

and the pointless error of my ways.

I've seen the light the other night,

a man from the Church was doing research

on how we spend our days.

 

Now i've turned myself around

like others sometimes do.

Well, after all it's a waste of a life,

so now i'm looking for a wife

to love me for what I might become

instead of just a pathetic bum.

 

Uncle Charlie has offered me a room,

why didn't I think of that before?

I guess I quite enjoyed the freedom

living outside the law.

 

One thing's for sure: there will be those

who'll sleep much easier at night

knowing they won't see me again

to give them all a fright.

Thanks for your story Po. I can't go into the semantics, just to say that Part 2 was a protest poem re some reactions to Part 1 which was the real deal. The poem obviously hit a spot cheers.

Thanks for your response Big Sal. That does sum it up,

That sounds like part 3 Mark !

Yes like an antedote I suppose David.

Many thanks Ghazala, Jon and Anya for your likes.

Ray.

Good wishes and good luck are due
To anyone who tries to do
What isn't easy to complete...
Moving off a windblown street. ?

I sense a sweet mercy tethered to the cusp of humility. Conscious of others even when suffering oneself.

I particularly like how you entitled this one, "part 2", as I do enjoy follow-up pieces - especially if they carry the torch like this.?
