Woody Guthie

an appreciation of a life

                                              Your words touch me

                                               years after you died  

                                              The forlorn life 

                                              and strife that was 

                                              your road led you to

                                              a world that was sleeping.

                                              While the drivers were

                                              driven by a  White House  

                                              that was roaming a path 

                                              that was wreaking  of plans 

                                              to mold your world into

                                              something you could not stand

                                              your tortured soul  saw the

                                              future and had sunken

                                              into the deep abyss  

                                              that few realized

                                              until you died .

It is extraordinary finding that people with limitations and disabilities contribute at times way more than those with many abilities and potentials just to balance the quilibrium
