Poem -

SAME DIFFERENCE

 
You walk in the light
Head held high 
I enjoy the night 
A starlit sky 

You love to read a good book 
With a glass of wine 
I love the streets... just been released 
Five years I was confined 

You drive a fancy car
Wearing the best of clothes 
I found my threads in the secondhand store 

Two different people 
From different walks of life 
But we share the same violent world 
Where you carry a gun
I carry a knife.

Wilford Barker.

I love poems that reflect a harsher, more realistic side of life..and this does! I was engaged in reading it from beginning to end and thats always a good sign. Well structured and a GOOD read ! xx

SUCH IS A LIFETIME

To exit the womb and greet the world with tears
Eyes slightly opened to what seemed to be real....
