The Eccentric

Remember those days when politics was for the feared
persuasive men with many words the mind couldn't count
so sweet and tasteful the heart yearned  for more
those were the days when words meant what they mean
character and dignity the traits of successful men
i was there , i saw them and i heard them
the words that lived to define destiny.

he left for the city on a Tuesday
on a trail of promises he bid goodbye
blinded with joy he counted all his luck
to her ears it was sweet  music  to hear
flashy finger and a tummy not afraid of birth
in her mind she lost her maiden name
and built a feature
remember me when you count the stars
put me in a place so high the tides can't reach
a whole hearted blessing given out for free

welcome to the city of lights
where eagles sore into the blue skies
searching for diamonds and in the wild night
birds clatter and sing for joy
sipping on cheap wine to kill the time
thigh roll to the highest bidder of the night
in a moment we are all lost in space
caught up in an adventure we die to tell

i am a drifter so lost at sea
like a pebble i roll with the flow
with  memories  to keep and some to lose
to a future predestined by dead souls
they were us now we are them!
