THE KEY

 

I have seen the true face of the world

In the arrogant joy of those who stole

Their moment in the sun.
I have heard the true voice of the world

Choke on its pain and toil and anguish.

I have felt the true heart of the world

Mark its cold and silent hours
And beat with the agonies of desire.
I have searched for the true key of the world

And tried what I found in it’s sealed door.

Cruel in its mystery.
Uncaring as an arctic sea,
A sealed door And the wrong key.
