Set in motion
By asailorsangel
At this moment it is set in motion
A feverish banter of wanting
Throwing my self to the floor
On my knees begging please
Please look at me
Can you see the Facade?
It's an unswerving similarity
To the beggars on cobblestone streets
Those with dirty faces, lost souls
And empty tin cups
Is this how you perceive us
Our hands may appear dirty
Our minds empty but if you stopped
Long enough to look into the eyes
Of this beggar
Would you see the mirror image
Of your own soul
What do you see?
Is it your fear?
Is it your love?
Is it the beginning of your life
or is it
The end?

I guess it depends on the person, who searches into those eyes, and what they want to see. If you want to find life, you will find it, etc... Nice poem. I like.
