Lonely

Alone in a desolate world
I walked through lonely roads and saw
A pretty lass crying
Whispering her lovers name, calling him back
He is no where to be found…
I ensconced near her
“I attended his wedding today” she murmured and sighed
I gave her a hug
and walked again…

Saw an old man couched
I sat near him …he rumbled
“Searching the star my son today is,
he left me alone, alone in this lonely world”
“I buried him today”
I couldn’t stop my tears
Made a short prayer and left
Walked through those lonely roads, those lonely roads once again…

I met a young lad
shouting and cursing.
I stopped and looked at him
What’s wrong?
“She ditched me, left me for someone else”
You will find someone better
“I want no one else”
Keep the faith I said and walked

I walk through those lonely roads again and wonder
Where has smile disappeared?
Where have promises vanished?
Why has truth disappeared?
Where has love evanished?
With so many people around,
Why are we sad and solitary…
