The Cast Away



There is an evolution waiting to be heard
Waiting to be told…

There is an intoxicated wisdom sleeping on the sidewalk
It’s not a vagrant
Just part of the evolution
- A cast away

A cast away with dreams that sleep on the horizon
We anchor him on that lonely island with our uncaring smiles that bring send to his shores of pain more waves of disapproval

The cast away seeks a change as
I watch him as he contemplates the height of his tears
They are building that stand so tall just three inches away from God’s feet
Funny how his tears find god before his silent prayers do
He parts the seas of his teary world… in silence …

One day
He will use your unwelcoming arms as a catalyst to usher in the reign of the revolution

He will preach the evolution

And when he does

The roles of importance will change

By that time

We will become the cast away, sailing on the deep end of ignorance

Soon we will be anchored by our stubbornness and our minds will forever remain stagnant because we refuse to listen when the cast away cried the evolution

The many times he screamed silently for a revolution - for a change and not your "small change"

But on that faithful day when he sings the revolution

It will be a song sung so loud , even by the deaf it will be heard

The words of the cast away can be very powerful

The change starts
By simply .........listening ....
