Missing

A creature born with out a home
A man who sleeps upon a stone
Missing every piece of bread
Living life but looking dead

His head bowed low before its time
Humbled, without reason or rhyme
The pattern of the ticking clock
Sometimes, he wishes his would stop

What brought him here?
Is he to blame? 
In what way
will his Demon’s tame?

Why was he left here to rot?
Maybe the victim of some plot?
Is he not human?
Like you -- or me
How does he die, when people see?

I saw him fall the other day
I reached out but he deplored
“I can make it” “walk on by”
“ just like you did the times before”

What made me bend and change my way?
What made me look and my time, pay?
Is there more to life than this
I live my life but “LIFE” I miss

Is my path - for me alone?
Do I see people or just the drone?
Slave to things - I think, make me free
But in the end, they just own me!!!

My Rush To Do
Tasks To Complete
When their done
They just deplete

I miss the things that mean the most
Love people much

 and

let --- “things” ----go

I love the line, living life but looking dead. It is such a great visual!
