Richard Schnap- A Poem


HUMAN CONDITION

I have known men
Blessed with unique genius
That ended up driving a cab

And I have known men
Born to be great virtuosos
Begging passersby for change

And I have known men
With talent to rival the masters
Posting signs to sell their belongings

And I have known men
With minds possessing great wisdom
That wound up talking to the wind

And I have known men
That set out to save the world
But could not save their own souls

And I have known men
That buried their faces in shadows
To try to hide from themselves
