Subject: Visual Eyes of the 25


VISUAL EYES OF THE 25


The advertisement cries out
To one down on their luck
Letting them know even good people
Are unlucky enough to have bad credit
Which these Lenders are glad to repair!
If `hard luck Charlie' or Charlene
Wants a car to get to work
Soothing without small print mentioning
How they rape you with interest
So if or when the car breaks down
It forces double payments
For nothing that can be seen
Except possibilities in the long run,
Robbing Perk's life.

For again Perk's time to earn
Overtime money, went before Lent
As now living time is commuting
Bus after bus or maybe a train or two
Mayhap a train, bus, train
To bus, train, bus of what a bust.
Sometimes adding mental pain,
Other times, what a humanity gain
If enjoying having a people view
Of connections, but then there are those
Quiet of heart breaking times,
When one so prays, for another's child,
Not being able to touch or hug.

So good and still was he,
Yet upset enough
To make a small fuss in the back of the bus
After being forced from a favored front seat.
Then quiet again until a quick cry of no’ooo
As he's dragged off, the number 25.

Was it leaving air conditioning
In 99 degrees of Midnight?
Or watching the sidewalks go by
Without him walking upon them?
Could it possibly be,
His Mother works the streets?
Or just is an everyday cranky
Hard working factory worker,
Who had just treated him to a movie?
But that very last cry after a brief ride
Leaves his sweet self intertwined
Forevermore of verse in prayers
Of unshed tears imprinted deeply
Within this soul's .. Visual eyes.

*...Perk's....* I believe a slang term
used by those of somewhat shady trades,
when speaking of their potential victims???
