I'm weak lord, I am weak

                                      I’m weak lord, I am weak

                                               Jamil Barnes 

                   

                     On the streets you see me, and yet I’m still cold.   As I look to you, so proud and bold. ‘‘hey!’’ have some compassion,  As I looked up at the man, looking down on me with his blank stare. I cringe in the corner as people walk by, because I do not exist. I’m just an Imagination that brings tears to their eye. For I have been beaten into the dust. And the well of my soul is dry. So as I lay here at the end of my life, to whom do I cry? For I have wasted away all that makes up me, for within my mind where can I flee?

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
