"i pass a thousand faces a day"

By Gabriel

i pass a thousand faces a day
wondering if a god hears them pray
while they pick out dinner for their
family that waits at home

    It's interesting because I think I would fall into both groups here; both observer who is wondering and the person who is pondering. I agree with harlequinn, you packed a lot of possibility into just four lines like some kind of poem grenade that, if it would explode, would send us all into existential crisis. Very cool :)

    I loved the simplicity of the poem. Just four lines of literature cause you to question even the existence of god. This is a truly powerful poem packed into four lines; simplicity at its finest.
