Frederick Espiritu Poet Narrative

The Poor Shoe

Looking for another acting award
An actor asked one poor what his shoe looks like
The unfortunate caught off guard
But he smiled, then answered with no fright

Well, today it doesn't look so well
You see I don't wear it now
Looping sun and rain hurt it like hell
But it is tough and survive somehow

It stands tall against the mighty storm
I really appreciate its endurance
But as time goes by, its look deformed
I don't know if it can take another resistance

So here I am now walking on the street barefooted
But may I ask you sir, why are you asking for my shoe
You see I can't buy one, my pocket is so wounded
Hence believe me about my footwear, it's all true

Looking for another acting award
An actor asked one poor what his shoe looks like
Now he got the best trophy reward
A teary eye, a lesson that deeply strikes

An actor may claim that they know what's the poor shoe looks like
Little they know that some aren't wearing one...
