All of my life <br /> <br /> <br />Ruin of youth head cannot see it <br />Distraction of dream <br /> reason cannot feel it <br />Life in great mess no one can escape it <br />Dream today hope tomorrow, <br /> but for whom? <br />None of us will come at high side <br />When he was alone <br /> in the mountain side; <br />He climbed the tree for us <br />And raised our weary soul <br /> guarded with sword; <br />Be these words be heard <br /> tonight in the court <br />Addressed to all crying and dying; <br />Oh when can we understand! <br />Till the youth will all pass away? <br />And we all lost the long chance <br /> <br /> <br />Note: <br />City of Mati, Davao Oriental, Philippines.1997<br /><br />Jordan Legaspi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-of-my-life-2/
