In A Bus Shelter

[BlueEpocha]

 

 

In a bus shelter

 

In a bus shelter at keys of south

Soothed by a slow soft humming of a melody

Formulated in the head of an old man

Who stood in front of me

 

The world came to a slow motion

In a bus shelter at keys of south

Hushing my worries while softening like lotion

For a speck in the cosmos was witnessing a moment

 

He stood not knowing

For the melody only existed in his head

In a bus shelter at the keys of south

Where barriers were broken

 

I a stranger took comfort

Where no one seems to measure up

And disappointment fills cups

In a bus shelter at keys of south

I get on that bus every dawn

in search of a new horizon

a new opportunity

the white would day

a better future

my mother would say

 

I get on that bus everyday

thinking that today is going to be different

they gonna offer a job

that meets my needs

but instead they tell me to get down on my knees

and clean

IM too experiences I say

then wait

the white says

but I cant afford to wait

so I start to clean

any beliefs I had on

democracy

pride

wiped away from office windows

your lucky you even here

weant to university

you in for a chance

but wait

the white says

 

so I get of that bus waiting

for my turn to shine

to be accepted

and to treated

as a citizen

 

 

i walk away from the bus

thinking im asking to much

or asking to little to late

Blue wow..never thought a bus shelter could evoke such sentiments reminds me of an old maxi priest (remixed)song: where it starts with: lonely crowd in a bus after work..Iam day dreaming.. :cool: ulalalalala..love that song(its called some guyz have all the luck, originally sang by an old jamaican group: Inner circle).
