Behind This Four Walls Poem by Billy Simani

Behind This Four Walls



Behind this four walls,
I've seen my babies crawl,
Underneath the wishful wells,
I've watched my penny fall,
Still I choose to stay,
Isolated and far away,

I've lived in hope of sunlight,
But all I get is twilight,
Under the black night I hope for twinkle,
And the blue skies I need glitter and sparkle,
Still I choose to stay,
Isolated and far away,

Everything I have is willy nilly,
My sole heir is a silly Billy,
And my two daughters in nitty gritty,
Think am an old nitwit and crazy,
Still I choose to stay,
Isolated and far away,

My husband was a fuddy duddy,
With a pot belly trying to look dandy,
He got drunk, drowned and found in a beach so sandy,
And now my babies are left with no daddy,
Still I choose to stay,
Isolated and far away,

Behind this four walls,
Ill crumble and fall,
Clogging the wishful wells,
Are the pennies that fell after all?
Still I choose to stay,
Isolated and far away,
