The Loafer On The Beach

He lingered along the countless grains of sand

The bare-footed beachcomber that sweeps the land

Disfigured ships were wrecked along his shoreline

In the vicinity of a garbage dump

 

He listened to the chants of every wave

Whilst he salvaged the shore with garbage paved

His hand greeted every strayed article

Ran fingers through them like a hungry beast

 

He tried to gather needs before the angry wind

Before the disturbed crashing waves destroy his dream

Shells, stones and refuse like one family no more

He’ll return next day to earn a living again

Have your say
