What Could I Do? Watching all the scenes As I wait for myself Little kids seem to be smaller Than ever before And businessmen seem to have More bloody noses than ever before And policemen seem to be swinging more than ever before All my dreams seem to be clouded more than ever before What does it matter Once in a while I guess it does But with a mirror of reflection At every corner we turn Why can’t we ever learn All we wear are satin shoes And our pretensions have surpassed our morals I’m in a war of sadness and anger Can’t you hear the screaming whores in the trees? Stuck up there eternally Cut by all the branches that we planted They never had a chance to live our way Or how we think is right today Mink coated, 5th avenue women All laugh and point at them While their husbands pay the carriage men Saxophone junkies roam the streets for a quarter And we gather round as if they were putting on a show But I, I really know what they want Not money, or fame, or anything to flaunt Just a life to lead as we do without thought It’ll never happen cause fate dominates As far as the eye can see But really aren’t the trees so pretty Repeating Verse:I want to cry, I want to run, I want to burn, I want to learn I don’t want to lose what I have I never could understand with a father of such prestige And a mother such a friend to the drugstore man Sympathy was so confusing to comprehend with such neglect It has to be to late to help… anyways what could I do? |

reading this poem makes me think about how far we have gone in the last century as a species.. but i must ask: is it for the better or for the worst?.. i look at society today and i don't see a definite answer.. good work, LenMcC1 |
