Simple man
By Matt Freire
I am soldier
I can run
I am soldier
My job is fun
I am soldier
Simple are my needs
I am soldier
Complex can be my deeds
I am human
I have tons of questions
I am human
Most I can never mention
I am human
Air I breathe
I am human
Simple words I speak
I is simple man
Sifting through this world
I is simple man
This weight I hurl
I is simple man
With little patience
I is simple man
With mild reverence
I am man
I have need
I am man
I can bleed
I am man
I eat a lot
I am man
But I’m not hungry

ReplyDeleteDude, there is more to your poems than meets the eye. They have a lot of meaning. Like layers of meaning. They also are straight ahead. Hope you are okay, know what I mean? You are a thoughtful guy and there is tons of stuff to think about where you are. "Before you let yourself go, be sure you can bring yourself back." I'll be watching your work.
