Just Anyone - Fuchsia

By the crowded highway stands the brightly painted sign

Where each way points the same way leading, blind man to decide

In the doorway looking for the sun that failed to shine

A tramp will either laugh or breathe a sigh.

The silver-plated eagle glares out from the mansion wall

Upon the passing stillborn soldier who can only fall

When all has gone by the wayside, scourged by what he’s done

Beyond Nirvana, each is all and one.

Dazed and wondering… find someone

Is there anybody out there?

Just anyone?

Misplaced grooms in bedsit rooms hide from the warning gun

The white dove flies toward the mountain under a waning sun

The plaster cracks and disappears and when all’s said and done

You’re there to die alone or carry on.

In the senseless crowd you pass, someone in whom you hide

If only for a moment till you reach the other side

You raise your arms to make a sign to show the hour has come

But you’re alone and everyone has gone.

Dazed and wondering… find someone

Is there anybody out there?

Just anyone?
