Musings: Lost in the Crowd
Truly crushed Riding in the wagon The lizard could afford Just a few nods Truly bleak Sitting in the street The beggar could afford Just a few cries Truly white Dwelling in the cave The leper could afford Just a rare visit Truly weak Struggling in the mud The ant could afford Just a timely bath Truly short Lounging in the tree The rich could afford Just a meagre catch Truly little Ringing in the ear The tot could afford Just a humble grace Truly proud Gliding in the status The heir could afford Just a ready burden Truly false Thriving in the present The simple could afford Just a clear vision Truly spent Waiting in the wheel The worn could afford Just a pearly reach Truly bent Passing in the porch The lady could afford Just a caring ruler Truly poor Swimming in the debt The peasant could afford Just a patient wait Truly chosen Living in the dream The fish could afford Just a wise coin ...
