Ah! This man I know,
He had it all,
Still has,
But it’s lost its meaning.
What are you doing walking?
There’s a surfeit of shadows across your face
But your suit’s all smart –
What’s going on?
You tasted wealth and success,
Untold status -
I don’t understand.
Something wells up inside
And you try and push it down -
Only your eyes give the game away,
Raw and hunted.
What’s gone wrong?
This is a verse of the poem "As I walked home". Buy the book here
