[hometext] => I was bored in class so I wrote something about walking downa raod across from someone but never moving. I turned it into a poem.
[bodytext] => The black road stretch’s out before you Winding through the dying earth. You walk down the road slowly, The sun beating down on your back. One foot in front of the other Over and over again. Keep on moving, Do not stop waking. You have a backpack banging on your back And your shoes are wearing out. But just keep on moving, Anywhere is better then nowhere And you are in nowhere now. You have been walking for so long now And you swear you saw that bush before. Or maybe that rock twice. But you just keep on moving. Because, Anywhere is better then nowhere And you are in nowhere now. But look across the road What do you see there? Another person just like you Walking slowly down the road. They are walking the other direction And seems not to see you. You look back at you feet And keep on walking. Because, Anywhere is better then nowhere And you are in nowhere now. The sun goes down But you keep moving. Through the whole night You keep walking. The sun begins to wake up And the world is turned pink. You look up from your dying shoes And turn to look across from you. The other one is still walking Seeming like he has never moved. After walking through the whole damn night Neither one of you has gotten anywhere. Walk across the road And grab the lone walker’s hand. When you take his hand You can both start walking And this time you can get somewhere. Because, Anywhere is better then nowhere And you are in nowhere now. And you cannot get anywhere alone.
