“THE OLD MAN IN THE CORNER The man in the corner Is dying with words He's crying to be heard His days are marked And his only ears are birds He knows the secret to peace And his experience bleeds and hurts Somebody stop and listen Before he departs the earth! Somebody write his thoughts Before he hits the turf! His eyes are closing their shutters And he just dropped his Beads and stick. His breath is leaving us. Please! Somebody hear him out quick! A little girl rushes to him and Picks up his cane of wood. The old man then turns to her And faintly whispers, "The key to peace is To always stay fair And be good.” LifeInspirationalWisdomEarthDeathPoetryGirlPeaceJusticeSecretDyingThoughtsExperienceEarsGoodOld ManFairnessWorld PeaceBadWriteBirdsOldListenDaysStopBeadsFairHurtsWhispersStickDepartMarkedCaneBleeds Book:Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem Source: Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
