Dead headed br Thunderstruck br Lurching by the br Whining wires br On shabby metal poles br And pasted paper signs br A ruin of a man br His furtive glance br From hunted haunted eyes br A cold and loveless absence br Removed from desperation br A life of moments br And the moment holds no life br br A world not mine br But close br When morning optimism fades br No grace remains br And all of life is barren br Joyless br Pointless br Grey br Death is nothing br Death is peace br br But no br I have a brain br That holds a memory br Of a word suggesting br This will go away br And the fantasy of mirth and joy br And laughter love and happiness br Leaves me doubt enough br To hope that maybe br It could come again br But am I willing it br Oh yes br My God I ambr br David S Dennisbr br
