 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

HE .......


He went to school to learn how to learn
He went to school to learn~
He wanted to know about everything
For knowing his heart and soul did yern~
But he was cheated of his schooling
Soon after he got to go~
Due to family disputes and a broken home
Children simply can not fight this foe~
He later set himself out on the road of life
And almost traveled everywhere~
A good soul with integrity
In a world that was anything but fair~
He worked hard he wrote he composed
He sang and he traveled too~
He learnt way more from university life
Than he would have at school it's true~
He could not understand excuses for wrong doers
He was a follower of common sense~
And always gave life all he had
Not one to ever sit on the fence~
He saw almost encouragement of crime
Anywhere the wind it blows~
By those who are there to discourage it
But as he said that's the way it goes~
But one thing he learnt as times candles burnt
That ever so many do not take life sincerely~
And they gamble with their children's  hildren  future
Instead of protecting same so dearly-
A man with little tolerance for stupidity
But there was little he could do~
In a world where souls think they'll live forever
How they know not what they do it's true~
