Percussion In A Commoner's Bar! Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Percussion In A Commoner's Bar!



Please do not search perfectionists
but my drinking companions are good singers after couple of drinks,
Classics, blues, opera songs and filthy ones
jazz, sentimentals and etc.,
they sing well, some cry and some smile
they tell you emotional stories with all the ingredients.
no degrees next to their beautiful names
but they know the length & depth of the life's Ocean.
I tasted their non filter cigarette butts
that smell of humanity,
When going home some they call me to their card board houses
and I feel very sorry for their hospitality!

[When you look at the World in a narrow way, how narrow it seems! When you look at it in a mean way, how mean it is! When you look at it selfishly, how selfish it is! But when you look at it in a broad, generous, friendly spirit, what wonderful people you find in it.']-Horace Rutledge
