Writing With Weeping Words

Writing With Weeping Words I pick up the pen I begin to write Why? is this pen wet It's because I've been crying My tears fell down my face On to the pen and yet. . . Also the paper got damp Because I suddenly continued crying And in all this I'm writing with weeping words NO family No job, homeless Yet still I try to obey the laws But his world makes me crawl I'm not amused at all No shelter or home So all alone You look at me an stare Do you want to come here Hungry in despair No one cares Got this tattered note Oh! did I ever mention This is so up surd I am writing with weeping words Look at this two inch pencil I just sit here and write bout my horrible life While I'm eating this raw rice 10/11/17 written by James Edward Lee Sr. from Anthology "Strong Faith"
