A World Unknown To YouA Poem by Resa
You seem to believe you’re a
Fountain of knowledge. Simply because you ,got To graduate college. You’re always so smug , And so very snide. But, I know things too! Let’s go for ride. You act as though, you know This city so well. But, you’ve never been to the corners of hell. I’ll show you sadness, and Horrors unknown by most. By the time that we leave there, You’ll be as pale as a ghost! This lesson I give you, Likely will be of no use. But, at least you’ll have seen it. You’ll know it’s dark truth. We’re almost there, I can smell it in the air. The underbelly of the city In this world, it’s a very different game. The rules as you know them, Do not apply. Oh, and by the way, These players never take Pity. Finally! We’re here! Let me park the car. You’re already in disbelief. Both eyes fearful, As you realize, Where you are. You probably thought, “These streets were not real.” Just stuff you’ve seen, while Watching TV. Come now! Let’s hurry! There’s so much to see! A pimp to the left, drug dealer on the right. Are you ok? You look a fright! What scared you so badly? Was it the hooker ,with only One leg? Or seeing that mother,and four hungry children, Shamelessly beg. Come on, let’s get out of this place. Why are you stopped, Starring, with that odd look On you’re face? As I turned my head, I saw it too. You’re eyes were fixed on some one. A different version of You! Here, take my hand. Let’s get you back to the car. I hope you’ve learned the lesson. Be grateful for your life, Because some of these Creatures, were once exactly where You currently are. © 2018 Resa |
