Who Are You? Poem by John Shea

Who Are You?

Rating: 4.0


To give me sorrow on her eve of death
To leave a letter on her dusty desk

Who the hell cares
Well I do

Who are you to flatter lies
While bald eagles and buzzards spatter the skies

leave me a message that makes some sense
Not a trap or a fence

Who the hell cares
Well I do

My life is hollow without her
Yours just might be the same

Fly like the eagle
Even when feeble

Who the hell cares
Well I do

String me up on an old oak tree
And I will sing you a song
For her you and me.

I like ballads because they come straight from within; this is a ballad, even if you didn't intend to. fine
