The Casualty and The Observer

I'm putting these two poems together because they belong in the same short collection I plan to finish in the near future. Thanks!- Dave

The Casualty

By David Marcus Karp

You will see, boys

You will see

City lights reflecting bac on me

I am nothing

Without time flying

I’ll let the world be

You’ll find it, you’ll see

I am lost now

In a sea of sunlight

Old city walls glow with time that’s gone

Everybody

Searching for their own sense of peace

All the children crying in a song

Prayers are blowing

Through dust and wind

Tryin’ to find an ear that will listen

The desert’s flooding

With tears of broken hearts

Won’t anybody look at the world today?

Riots, rage and rubble

Shouldn’t tell my story

I swear that one day

I’ll find this place’s glory

I swear that one day

I’ll find this place’s glory

The Observer

By David Marcus Karp

The fire falls

The sirens cry

The sky is silent

And so am I

What’s happened here

What story’s told

Could any person

Be so bold?

Sometimes it gets so cold

Sometimes I feel so old

I wanna love the world again
