About A Guy


at home among the lost and found
he fights with all, still losing ground
but through the dark, he hears a sound
and in his mind, he leaps and bounds
with stunning grace and superb ease
and strength to fight philosophies
with which his mind does not agree
to crush the dark and make them free
they raise their hands and shake their fists
he sees them all, though through the mist
he falls back down, his chance he missed
again he fights but now he's pissed
he takes his chains and gives a pull
the walls fall down and in a sudden lull
he hears again the sound in full
and knows it now with the speed of a bull
the horn sounds now clear and loud
and pulls him from his darkness shroud
he runs away, so light and proud
and rises up, beyond the clouds
but where will he go?
when the prophets don't know
and the winds don't blow
and the stars don't show
where will he be?
when the land turns to sea
will he think of me
in deep history
will he think of lands so far away
and continue to live another day
remembering how he joined the fray
in places where darkness held sway
when all is gone and there's no more light
will he wonder if he was right
will he ponder his strength and might
and go on to fly throughout the night

There isn't much to say about this: it's straightforward. There's not really any symbology. I actually really like this poem. I think it could be good for a song, perhaps a rap song but quite possibly other songs as well.
