each day i live
Don't be content in your life just to do no wrong; be prepared
everyday to try and do some good.—Nicholas Winton
§
i carry scars
emblems of wars
of spirits
and of passions
and of blunders
i battle aches
from past mistakes
of limits
and of rations
and of plunders
but still i struggle
for the stars
distance behind has
flung me far
my fingers strangle
my guitar
angry songs fill my
repertoire
§
long gone the days
my feet would stray
in places
God-forsaken
and forbidden
i dared to play
in harm’s dread way
with traces
of mistaken
ills scarce hidden
the mountains taught
my feet to climb
hunger the taste of
bitter lime
it mattered not then
in my prime
i lacked sound reason
and sly rhyme
§
i have evolved
all problems solved
of peoples
and of places
and of conflicts
i hesitate
to toy with fate
high steeples
cyberspaces
or life’s quick-fix
i gather up my
sanity
to leverage all
humanity
for if i burn each
bridge i cross
each day i live i
count as loss
