Poems by David Harris : 1194 / 2835
Going First To Come Last
There are a lot of players
within this world of ours
trying for the sympathy vote.
Wherever they may go,
they do it in the most fascinating way
by going first to come last.
It is not that they cannot do it
whatever it may be;
it is just that they want
someone else to do it for them
and shower them with sympathy.
