A man and a sackA Poem by EloisaWritesContemplating on how dreams could be easily killed by pursuing the wrong place and fighting at the wrong time. Still, Dream on!With skinned knee and a little panting. The pursuers are gone! There is freedom to roam around and retrace the ambition-laden place. With a sack in his hand the man keeps walking. There were bright lights, he saw As bright as a newly found feat! But o, so blinding! Pretty lights bedazzling Burning lights burning his struggling, hopeless dream. His throat dry and his stomach growling. The patrols are lost! And alone he looks - breaking his neck and jaws - up to the skyscraper's roof. With a sack in his hand the man keeps looking. There were big diners, he saw As big as his hungered life's work! but o, constantly mocking! Scrumptious meals inviting Fragrant flavors conquering his tired, defenseless dream. A lone man with a torn, empty sack stood there crying. © 2013 EloisaWritesAuthor's Note
