... When Did We Last Live Poem by daffodil tears

... When Did We Last Live

Rating: 2.7


When did we last live
i guess in some distant dreams
or the faint memoirs of childhood
playing behind the hills...
when did we last live
when the tension bell rang in our head
or the news on tv shocked us to death

when did we last live
when did we last smile
ahhh what you see of them
are the grins of arrogance
or the prangs of pride...
when did we last live
when was it we looked up to sky
the glory of moon is still there there
and so is the feat of thousand joys
just that our passion has died........

when did we last live
when was it we had a sigh
if the gallop of air is enough to survive
why does voice choke
why does our spine shiver...
when did we last live
when will we ever live....................

I don't know if some of us ever lived, but reading this poem has to count for something because it speaks volumes of life. The disappointment of adults wishing they could go back to a time where people lived. This was a great poem. 'when was it we had a sigh/if the gallop of air is enough to survive why does voice choke' and this my favorite lines.
