Fell Like a strayA Poem by Philip FranklinWell its more of a song than a poem but what the heckTravelling home down a crooked road Getting switched back on a railroad track Felling my bones I’m wrinkled and grey Feel like a stray in this world today Didn’t seem so cold when I was young I could have run a country mile Got no one to share my soul Feel like a stray in this world today Every thing for profit nothing for gain Want to die before you get old No you just fade away Seems to me things are way to fast Maybe in the past we had some time To smell the grass Feel another’s pain Feel like a stray in this world today Young people laugh at the old and the grey They forget that one day they will be the same Live for the buzz? Yes we did that feel like a stray in this world today Everything for profit! Nothing for gain Want to die before you get old? No you just fade away Travelling home down a crooked road Getting switched back on a railroad track Feeling my bones I’m wrinkled and grey Feel like a stray in this world today Feel like stray in this world today
