Lost Messages


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

Sometimes lives get tossed around ,
then tagged and left with a label .
They cane when they are able .

Somehow wires get crossed in a disabled conduit cable .
MS is a fact , not a fable .

Fact is not a cul-de-sac that we can turn our back on .
Let's put our cards on the table .

Let's talk about those lost messages from the brain .
Let's bring MS home if we are able .

I saw a person in a chair , he had love inside his heart .
He played a six string guitar .

I was touched by the words he sang ,his words were lost on the street.
He was helped to a car .

The MS serenade was a lost message there was no one willing ,
or able to hear .

On a cul-de-sac he was able to get his message across .
That's a fact to fear .
