Ragged Poets

Don't call the cities' streets unkind When ragged poets speak their mind Amid the garbage left From festivals of yesterday Those who seek are doomed to find Those who don't, condemned as blind And everyone has something That they wouldn't like to say Still the sun will ever rise And write a song across the skies Waiting 'til the afternoon To have its message understood But only those with sunbleached eyes To prove that they have really tried Can tell the rest that sun-writ messages Too often taste of wood Did you know this was the way? I can't recall if you were warned It doesn't matter what they say We all somehow get somewhat burned

While this was written some time ago, it is still dedicated to all of us who try to write down thoughts and find a rhyme for orange.
