The Plan


The Plan
by Robert Neest


A green and gorgeous land was filled with wealth

And handsome men and women that enjoyed

A plentiful supply for everything

As all the stuff they wanted, they could get.


The different goods that they disposed at will

And varied services they could enjoy

Were made and all provided by a horde

Of overworked exhausted needy folks.


As were displeased by seeing such poor things

That stained the bright and splendid scene they built

The leading persons made a plan that said

They should restrain the trifling populace.


And their efforts gave the planned results

The little fellows getting fewer, weaker,

But having fewer labourers would lead

To shortages of goods, disruptions, too.

Waiting

Waiting  by Robert Neest A tall and wooden window’s open wide  And lets the early summer sunshine slip  Inside the dimly lit and narrow room  And draw few feeble shadows on the walls.  Beside the window stands a girl and looks  Towards a very distant place, away  From where she stays with shoulders brought in front  While arms are tightly held around her waist.  She wears a lively coloured graceful dress  With stylish shoes that are her favourite pair  And light shines on her nicely done hair  To make her look so beautiful and young.  With trembling hands she reads again the message,  As she has done since she received the news,  When several tears are falling from her eyes  And then are slowly rolling down her face.

A Dream

A Dream by Robert Neest The son of young and working man and wife A two-year-old boy lived in a small flat, Inside a basement of a building was What they could pay from their modest wage. The parents left the place that they were born And went away from their home and friends, Were forced by lack of chances to build up A decent life for their family. Arrived in a new country they were firm In their will to strive for a new life And get for their son what they had not, To grow with hope of better days ahead. O ne night , a storm was hitting their town And massive floods were reaching their street, A brutal burst inside the place they were And died the m o ther, father and the son.

Why

Why by Robert Neest There are some people living among us, Most of the time they’re rich with higher ranks And looking down on everybody as They think themselves superior to all. When seeing that they have all they would need And even more while others strive to live Is giving them a pleasure they enjoy And makes them feel accomplished their li ves . So many times they’ re doing harm around, To see folks suffer being their goal And live the main desire they possess To be the bigger, better, s tronger ones. The sweet and mighty moment’s passi ng fast, Th en feel an emptiness that grows inside While letting them without the knowledge why It is themselves the ones that suffer most.
