The Passerby

  • If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited. Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated. It is not discourt

The Passerby

He’s not a person of politics, just a passerby, nothing special, he tips his hat and walks right by, completely noticed, unnoticed
He somehow understands
both sides,
“Like little kids they’ll play
Loving, fighting, and waiting,
Living for the experience,
The beauty of imagination” -
To each but the glimpse at a snow globe
Once the maker is bored, it’ll drop,
Cracked with age
Our remains our poured onto tiled fields……
There we laid
Just sun struck and contained
By wasted days of inner love -
Revealed, then degraded
By the devils’ jelous mind frame….

There he was, caught between a forest fire and a tidal wave,
Subjected to such spite and violence,
All the while admiring; keeping his innocence,
You will destroy him, and he will understand,
Because it is he who walks through your war,
With the gull to call himself, not a person of politics,
But just a passerby.

Very good poem...just when I think I've got a good one I get reminded how far I still have to go to be a great poet =)

wow the line "There he was, caught between a forest fire and a tidal wave" just great line

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
