weary


by dog e relaford



people are bad
they should be good
and live in the desert
or live in the woods

people are lonely
they should get out more
and walk by the river
and by the seashore

the moon is lonesome
and shines on the road
the moon speaks in whispers
the road speaks in code

the road has a fence
and the fence has two sides
a stranger appears
with nothing to hide

people are sick
they should get well
and sit under a tree
with a story to tell

the dust is weak
but the raindrop is strong
a weary traveler
sings a weary song
