Topic: The City that Care Forgot

[kermi3]

Simplistic....but simply thinkgs come from moaning in bed...


I never knew what homesick was before
But there it is around every door
Someone asking ten times each day, Are you ok?

What the hell kind of answer can I give?
My Family lived.

Not knowing is the hardest part.
It brings dispair to my broken heart.

Friends not here, they're far away.
I can't go home, here I must stay

What comes next, I know not.
But it is more than a map's small dot.
May God Please Bless The City that Care Forgot.

Water Water Everywhere and not a drop to drink
Used to be a children's rhyme
Now it makes my stomach drop and sink.

Interesting.

>>Used to be a children's rhyme<<

Didn't know that small part had been relegated to childrens' verse.

Water, water everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.
