Alone - Not Alone

I saw red roses today. I saw a tear drop too. I cannot decide which moved me more… I…love…you. I heard the news of the victory; I heard the world had been lost. I heard they spoke of peace, As they worked out what it was. If a man has a battle plan, Then you can be sure that he is lost; The plan will never work. If a man has a tank, You will forever be counting the cost, Against the decision’s worth. If a man is a man, he would not need to fight, But I am a man and I am never right where I belong. I pick up a telephone. The line is busy, E.T. is phoning home. Where he intends to go, He would not tell us; I just, don’t, know. All I know is, I am alone, When I am not alone. (C)2017 Aa Harvey.
