The Cry

The Cry

When you feel the earth more than you ought
Then your senses require you reduce it to naught
Distress of humanity will destroy your sanity
No matter where you elope, the same agony

If your soul resonates, sadness is always behind
You cannot speak unless it is the rhyming kind
People will frighten your conscious being
Too many have whipped that delicate scaffolding

Witness the misery of a soul cast into silence
Waiting, invisibly reaching for love forever salient
Extremes experienced will deflate and elate
Only the straight-edge can protect from the slippery skate

No answer as to why only that internal cry out
Each smile, each song, each player devout
No explanation, no answer to the intrinsic question
Witness so many graves of those who lost life’s altercation
