I was sitting ... one night ...
on an ... Underground Train
having been … in town ...
doing the … Same ol' Same …
Reciting words ….
That … sometimes … HURT … !!!!!
But …. saw some things
that did …. " Concern " …. !!!!!
Some peoples' … " Faces "
are in ….. " Places " …...
Not … TOO NICE … !!!!!!
Some were looking …
So …. " UPTIGHT " ….
That … " Freddy " …
would have … got a …
….. FRIGHT ….. !!!!!!!
and this is … why ...
I … Had To Write …
This Piece of … Poetry …
and share … The Vibe …
Some faces showed
……… " Pain " ………
and … Much Disdain … !!!!!
" Others " … showed ...
A … " TROUBLED BRAIN "… !!!
Yes …
These ... were faces ...
on the … Train … !!! …
I guess … they just …
" Reflect " ... The Times …
Much like … My Rhymes …
See …..
Things like … THIS ...
Help me … " Design " ...
Prose … that's built …
Inside … " My Mind " …
It's funny … how ...
A Face … Displays …
SO MANY … Things …
when on … A Train …
or … Anywhere … !!!!!
from … here to … there ...
But ….
Peak from ……………... Far … !!!
and … Don't You … STARE … !!!!
because … this can make
Some People ... "scared" … !!!
and ... May Result …
in … " Nasty Glares " … !!!!!
Days now …
Seem … Loooooonnnnnggggggg … !!!!!!
and just … Drag onnnnnnnnn … !!!!!!
Unless you're … RICH … !!!!!
and …. " Do Not Sit " ….
on … A Train ...
for ... Hours A Day ... !!!!!!!
Thats … " The Way " ...
Most Live … Today …
and makes … some faces …
display …. " PAIN " …. !!!!!!!!!!!!
Some Now …
Look … STRAINED … !!!!!
and look … So Drained …
and show that … Life ...
is … NOT ... A Game … !!!!!
" Some " …...
….. looked like …...
they were … " Delayed " … !!!
That's ... nothing new
on … London Trains … !!!!!
Even …. " Nice Faces " …
looked … REALLY STRESSED … !!?!!
Make up … Can't Hide ...
When you're … " Depressed " … !!!
I'm saying … MAN ...
What's happening … ?!?
A … Smiling Face ...
seems …. out of place … ?!?
The Young …
Look … Old … !!!
while … THEY …
seem … STUNNED …
by youth who … act …
like … when they glare ...
Old Folk should … RUN … !!!!!
Riding trains …
is NOT ... much fun … !!!
when peoples' looks ...
Resemble … GUNS … !!?!!
"Filled" ... with bullets …
" Cocked " … to shoot … !!!
It's as if you're in …
A … " Human Zoo " … !!!
Emotions … "caged" ...
and filled with … RAGE … !!!
" Reflected " … on ...
This …. Very Page ….
I … Never thought … !!!
A Face ... could sort …
" Mental Visions " ...
Through ... Such Diction … !!!
Trust me folks
those words … AREN'T …
…….. " Fiction " …….. !!!!!
" Look for " … YOURSELVES …
But …
Look with … STEALTH … !!!
because ... as i've said …
Some Faces … tell …
A story that ….
could … " HARM " ... your health … !!!!!
But then … " Some Faces " ...
aren't …. So Wild ….
and are … " Less Vile " ...
and Less … " Sterile " …
I'm talking of ….
those of a … " child "
whose face displays
a … " CAREFREE " … way … !!!
A face of … LIGHT …
and … " Sunny Days " … !!!!!!!!!!!
EVEN ON ……
A … " Late Night Train " …
One who's yet
to suffer … pain …
and has a life
that's … REALLY GREAT … !!!!!
Well ……..
" GOOD FOR THEM !!! " ….
is what I say … !!!!!
That's how it was …
in my … " Young Days " …
Well folks … that's how …
My Journey … went …
" Faces " ... made …
me use … my pen …
to write on things
I saw … in … Them …
" THIS " ….
all happened …
after …. Ten ….
One Tuesday Night …
on my … " Train Ride " …
A Journey … "FILLED" …
with … " Different Sights " …
" GRIMACES " …
but also … SMILES … !!!!!
That made … the journey
seem … " Worthwhile " … !!!!!
and that's … the way …
I'll let this …. END ….
Trains have taken …
me to … " Places " …
But ….
NOT … As Many …
as peoples' ….
….. " Faces " .....
It literally was, as written, the visions and sights of my late night train ride !!!
