my golden shovel

4 1 2
                                    

Sometimes I wonder and dream but
Then I remember how long I've waited for
A chance to change the world, and now
Here I stand where everyone has once stood and
Hear the sounds that everyone had once heard, I listen
To the cries of my ancestors, screaming "come to
Our world" and I can only imagine
How I would feel to be there, dead and
Alone, left to pretend
That I am okay, everything
Is okay, but the problem is,
Everything is not okay
