Unrecognizable

Do you recognize This man? Walking down a snowy path Years ago You shared his bath Filled with bubbling hopes Optimistic poems And washed away each others Sins Do you recognize This man? Fighting earnestly For change Years ago You flew his plane Through smoky clouds A hedonistic crowd And guided him through the Fog But now There are beggars Gathered at the footsteps Of a nation Stealing apples from The blind But now There are soldiers Occupying the gardens Of a widow In the final stage of Decline But now There are roaches Nibbling the portions Of a servant Down to his very last Dime In a world Where elephants Crush Intimidated Ants In a world I no longer Understand Do you recognize This man? Do you recognize This man? Of course Not He is A mere shadow Unrecognizable
