Searching for happiness <br />I landed at the feet <br />of a mad man <br />laughing away <br />his utopian dreams <br />in the streets <br /> <br />Searching for Pleasure <br />I stopped at the house <br />of a prostitute <br />feeding <br />her five children <br />in the ghetto <br /> <br />Searching for hope <br />i saw a blind man <br />striding boldly <br />with his walking stick <br />in the dark alley. <br /> <br />Searching for peace <br />i saw a withered cottage <br />- an old man with wife <br />Reclining in his arm chair <br />with a sense of achievement behind.<br /><br />Samuel Rufus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-in-the-dark/
