i wandered by a store one day and noticed wide eyed glances
continued walking when i wanted to stop decided not to take no chances
my pockets were limp and nearly lint filled besides 5 quarters spread out
my legs did ache and if i stopped, to start back walking my flexibility i did doubt
change was myfear an my condition did begin to worsen
but rather than to seek relief i just reverted to cursin
at what, at who, at why for what, the circles did question
it didn't stop me from walking around constantly second guessin
inside the store i heard much later was a salve for my open wounds
a salve that soothed so quickly it anointed all my croons
so now i sing of all those days the trials and the salvation
and now i tell the world not to delay their elation
takes steps to be and become and live and rhyme with the riddle
and don't be scared to seek the one who can makes your pangs seem little......
