Lonely is the One
By Paul Klusman
The truth for all to hear
While others turn away
And cower in their fear
As tyrants rain their poison
While pounding a fisted hand
And trample the flowers of justice
Growing across the land
Lonely is the one who turns
To lost and forgotten souls
The cold and hungry the silent
Who pay life’s heavy tolls
To offer comfort to shelter
Kindness against the rain
To steady in the blowing wind
Sympathy against the pain
Lonely is the one who walks
Towards better days ahead
And leaves behind the past
Where others dreary tread
But upon the road encounter
Another who heeds the call
A merry fellow traveler
Not so lonely after all
