Joel
34 years I have drifted
As a poet do I have words?
Have I the hands for yet words crafted
I’m Joel... have you heard?
My bottle of wine finishes
I would think... tonight I have won
My evening where night reaches
Tomorrow... I can only find money gone
Times if not to have... I had
When did I... how did I became?
I become... I did not wept
I only evolve... I did not remain
I believe in times a-changing
And I am slow... slow to keep up
I’m barely surviving yet I’m far from dying
If there be a reason... I have my doubts
Have I a drifted 34 years?
As a poet... I have words!
Poems to only you know... dears
I’m simply a Joel... have you heard?
