Arms and Legs

Walking
             through 
the crowds
          on the city streets
life streaming by
          in the heart of the metropolis
          Your limbs must
move
        if you are to 
learn the ways 
        of freedom
        Others will come to you
and the dance will continue
       now we can chant
       and now we can sing
because we know 
morning always comes again
        and lights the way
for the urban masses

I really like this one. It's nice to go to that "see ALL poems" of a poet and then see the really old ones when there are no new ones to see. I wish poets could figure out they can do that. Some people seem unaware of it and just go back to my last of the current 200 poems, which they have seen time and time again. WEll, this one of yours was very interesting. I like how you ended with "morning always comes again...."
