Comfortable In Shoes <br /> <br />They walk through garbage sniffing for rice <br />Their black bare feet are leather now under their scorching sun <br />And they all know each other’s destiny <br /> <br />And we sit here falling over a five-year flame <br />My puddle reflecting all my shame <br />And yours of yourself <br />We are all so selfish <br /> <br />I regret what they will never feel or have dreams of feeling <br />Their love is absolute <br />Theirs let me wonder of mine <br />They are fearless <br />They all can’t escape the AK-47 <br />And that they know <br />But they continue to eat and smile and laugh; they hold on <br />Mothers wipe black flies from her little one’s heads in hope <br />And I bet you feel so comfortable in your new tennis shoes <br />I bet we all do<br /><br />Timmy Tubbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/comfortable-in-shoes/
