Anthropic, Or Simply Being Human
written by sarah1008711:13 PM 3/11/05Tales of woe, spun from the famous on T.V.
Tears, mourning, sadnees, that is what they expect from me,
as I sit and watch;
A boy of 12 lost and alone
Walking one day, kidnapped from home
On the streets, he fended for himself
Courage, but no strength or stealth
Far from yours or mine's kind of wealth
Found by a service, funded by a trust
But by others, not by one of us
They picked the boy and took him in
A place far grubbier than ever you and I were in
Cleaned and freshened, they took him back
To his "home" little more than a shack.
But to see his father fall to his knees
Crying "god, why? Please"
Crying too much to say "I missed you"
But we know thats what was meant all the way through.
The father collapsed in a haze of emotion
The mother hugged him as a sign of devotion.
The tears welled like resevoirs in rain
Their lives will be happy once again.
The children they all gatheed around
To see their brother, they had just found
They thought he was dead, eradicated from life
he was gone for fourteen weeks, now play the fife.
And all it took, for this family to be
Was a little bit of help from you and me.
I gave nothing, but yet i cry
A worthless tear, less than a lie
If you offer nothing more than sympathy
Don't offer anything at all. |
