In The Kokapelli's Song

He sits out on the street
waiting for his break…come and greet.
"I'm hungry", so says his sign.
Well, we've all got our line.

Look at me, I'm hungry too.
But it aint for food.
And this life of mine
it gets rough at times.

We all have something out there
Ya well, life aint always fair
But alone you'll end up dyin
if you wait there always cryin

Pick your ass up off the ground.
What you want, it's still around.
Won't get nothin if ya wait in line -
hidin behind excuses, signs.

Live your life and live it true
do whatever ya gotta do
to claim yourself what you'll call "mine"
Forever free from signs and lines.

indeed! As we spew forth disgust when they remove the sign, the dirty clothes, and waltz to their mercedes on the other block, and go home to the million dollar house, laughing at how much more money they make that way... they are richer than we??? hee hee. Well done!

Heather,

This is a GREAT poem! How true the message is that only you can change your own destiny.

Welcome to Passions.
