Ice Man

Born into this life 

steel around him

cold floor under him

old cloths on this back

this

this life is all he knew

new things seemed a dream

a dream soon turn to reality

new things he had 

but changed he was 

humanity turned his back

the agent of cold he had 
became 

steel in him hand 

stealing their dream as they did 
his.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
