LETTER FROM THE STREETS part 2
Of sleeping rough i've had enough
and the pointless error of my ways.
I've seen the light the other night,
a man from the Church was doing research
on how we spend our days.
Now i've turned myself around
like others sometimes do.
Well, after all it's a waste of a life,
so now i'm looking for a wife
to love me for what I might become
instead of just a pathetic bum.
Uncle Charlie has offered me a room,
why didn't I think of that before?
I guess I quite enjoyed the freedom
living outside the law.
One thing's for sure: there will be those
who'll sleep much easier at night
knowing they won't see me again
to give them all a fright.

Thanks for your story Po. I can't go into the semantics, just to say that Part 2 was a protest poem re some reactions to Part 1 which was the real deal. The poem obviously hit a spot cheers.
