I wish I could walk a clearer path, A glamorous path with lots of light. Why am I here in this broken road? A broken road with no sign of gold. Men in suits stroll in smooth precious tiles, Accompanied with those poker smiles. Ladies strut wearing light fancy hats, Carrying a small bags and Persian cats. I seek a poverty escape route. What I found was the voice of a mute. Should I walk in sharp thorns barefooted, Or mingle with elites, unwanted?

Thorns and Tiles
I wish I could walk a clearer path, A glamorous path with lots of light. Why am I here in this broken road? A broken road with no sign of gold. Men in suits stroll in smooth precious tiles, Accompanied with those poker smiles. Ladies strut wearing light fancy hats, Carrying a small bags and Persian cats. I seek a poverty escape route. What I found was the voice of a mute. Should I walk in sharp thorns barefooted, Or mingle with elites, unwanted?
A poem about searching for direction, where neither path leads to clarity.
