- Not everyone is born under a starry sky ~ but climbed great heights - quote by poet Near the river I saw the decrepit aged man Striped of outerwear even though the snow reached his knees The ground was inextricably bound by frost Bare feet in worn-out shoes across the footpath one shaky foot in front of the other His body weak, but his will strong - fighting as best he can focused on survival There is a lot of weight on his shoulders The world occasionally feels as a bubble with distorted truths, falsehoods and veneers Poor ignorant people With glimmer of hope in the pitch dark a warm home and a bottle of gin Is that too much to ask?
