Praying For Reincarnation
Listen to poem:
Praying for Reincarnation
David J Walker
David is someone else and
I am merely playing his part
Memorizing then repeating
His lines
That I would never say
Stumbling over mistakes
Begging for retakes
Hoping I stay
In character
Throughout the passions play
And then
Play the part better
On another
better day
David is someone else and
I am merely making a start
To my life
Within his skin
Lighting a candle
Praying for reincarnation
Again
And again
