A BOY

jerusalem march 18/ 82

i wish to tell a story
a story oh so true
it's true
that you could look at it
from many angles too

he was born among
what they considered
elite, upon a mountain
until a town got built right there
whose people wouldn't even count them
 
he loved his mother everyone
but though he tried to have some fun
the neighbours and the school people
took him as bad or just a fool
he would not submit to any rule
 
so there he was, so very young
out of the house and on the run
mingling with the toughs and rudes
all alone, as he did brood
at his young age it looked like failure
he tried so hard
he would be braver !
