Poem
I was a musketeer Fighting to save a dying land Soldier with a heart Hate never disappeared As greed and waste were in command Tearing it apart Armed with a sword of words Choosing my battles, carefully Fighting against the odds Futility's absurd Sheathing my sword only to flee Left it up to God I became a wanderer Searching for peace, looking here and there If only peace of mind A lifelong ponderer Not understanding lack of care The world is so unkind In a state of disbelief That people live so unconcerned Turning treasure, into trash Our time's so brief Apparently, we'll never learn Hell burns hot with cash I was a troubadour Sang songs of happiness and pain Accompanied by the wind But mostly went ignored As the masses rode their gravy train On tracks of vain pretend Hitching from town to town No lust for pockets filled with gold Simply moving on Fall leaves are turning brown My days grow short and nights are cold Summer all but gone I'm a weary traveler My life spent in a time machine Powered by the sun A map unraveler And every road a different dream Sleeping on the run Sometimes the sky would gray I danced around the lightning strikes No time to take a rest Shelter would come my way Takin' in by ladies of the night Ease my loneliness But I can not sleep original song lyrics by the "Poemdog" Daniel Turner
