Poetry: Transitions

Created on: November 03, 2008

The Compassionate Man



Maturity has taken my passion,
For making an implacable stand.
No more do I dance in the street in the dark,
Daring to fight for my plan.

Once I knew better than others,
How everybody should live.
Now I know less than some others,
How taking leaves nothing to give.

I once was a beacon for action,
Burning to brighten the night.

Now I'm a man of compassion,
Hoping to do one thing right.
