Poetry: Hard times

by Marcus Emery

Created on: August 28, 2009

Stephen Foster

Stephen Foster wrote a song

"Hard Times, Come Again No More".

He understood the slows and lows

Of life where pain seem always to endure.

Foster had a heart for anguish,

Compassion for the poor;

I have seen and felt the same,

But something I dread more;

Tis' those who say

They know a way

To keep us all secure

And with straight face

Urge us embrace

Their surefire, all-time cure.
