The Cycle

The Cycle

A Poem by YesIAmHuman

And once the man so tall and gleaming


Knelt down to see those young eyes tearing


Shining pretty yet full of sorrow


He put aside his troubles for the morrow


And he kneeled down low to see the young face


And he clasped his hand unto the smooth lace


Of the shriveled and dirtied clothes they adorned


Of a small lost child whom misfortune adored


And he carried the child up high to the clouds


To soar above all without worry of crowds


And the young scared child, they soared and they climbed


Till they reached the peak top in the fastest of times


And the wee lil child, now grown and now tall


Knelt down beside a child oh so small


Seeing the horrors of their memories traced


Clear as a puddle on the young child’s face


And the cycle continues from tall to small


The kind sacrifice of those destined to fall


One last good deed before their face is shroud


In the cruel and cowardly mob of the crowd
