Amongst the Crowds

Amongst the Crowds

Why must the place be,
amongst the crowds far from
the acceptance, of life giving sea
Where go the feet but to move in glee

Death of parched dry,
amongst the crowds, far from
a place of beauty, freedom and play
A garden of life to be true, and forever stay

Away, away from the heat,
amongst the crowds, far from
the love that causes the heart’s beat
A paradise to live and grasp man’s need of meat

Away, away from the cold,
amongst the crowds, far from
places where souls seek and find gold
Where none are found none are near, to fear the bold
