swoop-me-down in shantytown
a space �?you’d want to disappear
from
a place �?they ripped your tears from
where you hate yourself for not being fear-some

you hate �?or you’re hated
you sate �?or you’re sated
this stuff fate �?is underrated
soon as you think it �?your thoughts are dated

you cannot know what you do not
it’s so easy to just get hot
and lose the love meant in meanings
forgive me �?i was just dreaming
for you

i must believe �?in tomorrow
through pain �?poverty �?and crippling sorrow
with you
if you’ll let me
though i know - you’ll forget me
since
i am no one �?and i know it
i pray you’ll remember and please show it

it’s the broke ones
that really matter
the rest is chaff �?or data scatter
like me
i have no meaning
though reaching out �?is my leaning
to lend a hand to the shabby
to the frail and thin �?i am their abbey
as they walk death’s wide chasm
i view a world through grand prism

forgive me please �?i lost my feeling
i meant no harm �?my brain’s just fleeting
if you’ll forgive me �?i’ll disappear
but please do not lose what i hold dear

It’s about them �?not you or me
the meek �?the weak �?the travesty
of power’s greed over worthy humans
rainbow hearts �?pumpin�?albumin

so swoop-me-down in shantytown
a space �?i’ll disappear
from
a place �?i’ve ripped my tears from
where i love i’ll not be fearsome


best,
m

You really do go back there a lot, Mikhail, one can understand how it has got to you when you have seen the things you have. A wishing, wanting thought, and a heartfelt one.
 
The rhythm of this one had me in places, but then I think of you reading it and strangly, it falls into place, Zy

thanks Zy

you are right - my feelings for the poor are strong

i only wish to raise awareness - create empathy - and get others to never forget them

thanks for taking the time to read and comment on this one Zy,
m

Gripping poem Mikhail!  I too have empathy and feel for the poor and hungry.  I am surrounded by them here in Midtown Atlanta and the homeless too.
