Sitting In The Shopping Mall Watching The World Pass By Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver
Sitting In The Shopping Mall Watching The World Pass By
Watching some aged and thinking about the many
the health care system can't hold.
Giving praise to passing parents, their young, inwardly
aware early life is ephemeral and nurturing sustaining.
Quickly, glancing at teenagers wandering floor after floor,
and wondering why they're not entering schools door after door.
Watching both males and females dressed in martial wares, and
probably wishing their clothes were colorful peaceful wears
Seeing people lining up to wage their last penny and betting
for certainty against expectation and probability.
Listening to languages of the world of bodies colored black, brown
and white; some outwardly expressing affection for the opposite and same sex.
Hearing some speaking in tongues praising their God; some unbelievers, still others unaffectedly winding in and out of the crowd.
I should be shopping for some "Things" instead of shopping for words in my head.
Almedia Knight
A nice poem about people watching, something I find myself doing from time to time. This poem is a clue as to what people may be thinking as they silently gaze around. There is a sense of connection to the human race and feelings of being a part of this vibrant world, as opposed to just being apart.
this is a beautiful poem about life my dear friend.. and the theme is in a shopping mall.. AMAZING - mel
