The wanderer - free verse


The wanderer he walks slowly
Because he believes walking fast is out of class
And he’s no beggar, politician or killer – he just likes the thrill of
Wandering.
The wonderer he takes the back roads
Because he believes the front roads are main shows
With monkeys, Beer and money, and the most dangerous of all
Women.
The wanderer he sees only what is real
Because he believes to see and feel are unlike
And to be real you must only feel what is inside – his sight does not
Wane.

The wanderer he has no money
Because he believes paper is best left to trees
And to fools who measure their soul with bark in green
Wads.
The wanderer he lost his family
Because he didn’t fit into society
And to us who blanket our wanderer within – we may soon feel
Woebegone
The wanderer he walks slowly
Because he believes walking fast is out of class
And he’s no beggar, politician or killer – he just likes the thrill of
Wandering.
