Charles M Moore Poems

I read a book of questions
no answers were included
I also read a book about
what hasn't been but should've
...

When I wake up my sleepy head
I've got my trousers on in bed
I'm first at the breakfast table
hair a mess and clothes dishevelled
...

She will hold you by the hand
and gaze into your eyes
she'll laugh at every thing you say
you feel she understands
...

Hide yourself and sit and cry
you had no time to say goodbye
priorities were always there
now there's no one left to care
...

If you looked in the mirror
what would you see
a face full of anger and hypocrisy
would you study the eyes
...

Annie wid ye walk wi me
an let me haud yer haun
sic fair a haun a ken wid brek
mans hert ye understaun
...

As I walked down to the river today
I met a man with no legs in a chair
we spoke about life and he stood tall in a way
as I walked down to the river
...

Well I'm sitting here thinking
on a friday night
the television's rubbish
and I'm feeling uptight
...

Let's make a law
that bans all the guns
we could use all the money
to tear down the slums
...

Where are all the mourners
who said they were my friends
the girls who cried when we split up
had no tears in the end
...
