I was saddened by my eyes
watching the torn and rugged demise
The youth that was once alive
Was now strollin away
Down the rugged, ravaged dirt road
Of the weary, tiresome timetrodden
And that glaring summer sun
Beat down on your face
No vehicular means to travel
Just your legs and your stowed bible
But your legs wanted to buckle
Under the weight of that summer heat
And Those wandering beside you
Had no relative value
They’re just the poor naïve souls
In the shade
Shade’s no convenience for you
The sun’ll all take us away someday
Let’s just walk away from this phase
For the truth
So they decided to give way
The time you had so stowed away
And there were so many things to say
But the speedy second hand of today
Hates youth
Lest waste it on some words
They’ll all just bounce off the rough ground
Let’s not bother with the muffled sound
Of insincerity
Seemed like resilience to me,
But all of the grass, birds, bees, and trees
Went on being naturally,
The same
Which got me to pondering
How did we go off wandering
While this poor, downtrodden man
Lived a day
And so I’m walking away from this grave
The summer sun pushing my face
Towards the worries of today
And impossibilities
Doesn’t seem to me like
There’s much for me to be like
Just to give my thoughts and good life
Away
