Do You Know?

By coyote

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Do you know from where I've come to reach this far and distant land, whose shores have beckoned me, though how, and why, I do not understand. Why such a people needing help have come to greet me as a man to lead your wild unruly mob (although I claim a lay man's fame to nothing but a decent job) against aggression, fiercely spread by enemies of your own kind.No matter, the end will be a friend and bring us all some peace of mind.Tuy Hoa 6 Jun 1970 Written August 24th, 2001 © on Aug 24 2001 12:44 PM PST   0 • 10
