No One Can Help Poem by King Happy

No One Can Help

Rating: 5.0


I want to tell them
with open letters
deploying parachutes

I want to tell them
as they hold hands
walking nervous
through the park

Never be ashamed.

I want to tell them
that their fear
has the best of them,
and maybe ours has
it too.

I want to tell them
when the moon
wakes up
and the sun lies
down

You can't help
but love
the ones
you love.

Someone once said about art, that 'it made him pass wind; that's art though'. You say, 'You can't help but love the ones you love'. Is that love though?
