Somebody Dishonest
gravity
catches
all of
us
unaware
at some point
or
other
my phone
slipped from my pocket
on the ground
mere minutes
long enough
for a scavenger
passerby says
let me call it
passerby says
why take it (just turn it in
like, right away)
passerby says
can’t say I’m shocked
you know todays world
plenty of people willing to help
(let me call it for you
is the sound on)
my scream is barely contained
plenty of people willing to help
but one possibly
dishonest
somebody
would like to hope in goodness
not assume the worst
but still
another letdown to keep me low
even if not picked up still gone
vanished from sight
I return home empty
whose is blame
God or man
whats the difference
this newest trial
a potentially deadly blow
to already fractured man
