Some one offered him a hand, <br />He had no way to know <br />It was the boogieman <br />I watched him on the news that evening, <br />He cried when they handcuffed him, <br />He explained he was just trying to be <br />Somebody, <br />Just looking for a place of <br />Respectability... <br />A place that would boast of <br />His manhood... <br />A place that would boast he had <br />arrived at his place in the sun, <br />A haven for his languishing dreams <br />Dissolving in his tears. <br /> <br /> <br />Written <br /> <br />197...?<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tears-of-a-looser/
