[hometext] => A story of a vision of the meaning of life
[bodytext] => Down a dark alley An old man awakes Poor and hungry But still he waits For something to happen For someone who cares Why he is there And I wonder What he lives for How he got where he is Is it his choice Why won't he say Is it alcoholic bliss For some odd reason I'm struck by this man Who smells of rotten human flesh What is his story What could it be That made a man eat trash And then the man gets up And inquires upon my stare I say "You have captured The interest of my heart Please tell me your story So that I can tell the world Please tell me your story So your story can be known" I was born So long ago I don't remember the year Times were so different From then and now The meaning of life has disappeared When I was a boy I went to church But never could learn a thing Then I realized The truths inside The words that gave life meaning (Hope, peace, love) Listen closely To what I say I want you to understand The lines of religion They do not apply If you disown the laws of man The world forsook me So now I lay here Shattered humbled yet free This world can kill me But I'll live on For in the truth I believe Down a dark alley An old man falls dead His words now in my head (to hear this go to www.myspace.com/thedufresnes i recorded it earlier this week) [comments] => 1 [counter] => 221 [topic] => 34 [informant] => poet_of_anger [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
