Anthony Arnold Poet Free verse

Wish You Were Here Revised

Getting old
The aches and pains more prevalent 
I look back now
Family and friends 

Gone 

Best friends...
Taken too soon 
I wonder 
Why 

Those who had tried to spread the word 
Called home
Their voices
Silenced 

Our leaders 
Taken 
Getting into "good trouble"
No more 

For those taken 
In the streets
In their homes 
In the waves of compliance 


My muse
My rock
My mom
No more 

For all of those transitioned 
For all of those lives taken 
For all of those in a better place 
Wish you were here 

inspired by the song from Pink Floyd
