Mike Dailey Poet Rhyme

Road Walker

He was walking down the side of the road
Burdened by the size of his load
He’s a man on his own, 
Without any home
A current expression 
Of the modern depression
He’s just out in the void 
Of the great unemployed
He’s there so we see
But for the grace of God go we.
