Psalm of D.F. Alcala (AA Pt 1 Sample)
Where there was once only youth,
There is now wisdom far beyond my years.
I have never seen a righteous man forsaken,
Nor a wild thing sorry for itself‒‒
However, once upon a time…
There was a deafblind boy with a dream,
Living a life of smoke and mirrors.
His face wears a smile;
His reality mimics Job’s.
If ignorance is bliss,
Behold the quiet liar;
Behalf his seeing sister,
Hearing Ms. and Mr.
Half-hearted relief
Turns dis-ease.
Half-ounce of trees
Turns ounce of peace.
Funeral after funeral,
Another R.I.P.
How ironic the boy’s best memory
Is smiling on a beautiful, vibrant beach
Where he buried his dream,
Baptized himself, and DIED.
I wonder if that boy died,
From feeling sorry for himself.
