A Shoulder to Lean

When The World Goes Black

When the world again goes black Not from loss of the sight But lockdown of town Of means and of ends Of circuses and shows And even free amusement From Bunny the Clown All I ask for is a shoulder to lean When the world again goes black Not from loss of the light But moody episodes of nature unknown That all sense of calmness upends To be replaced by moans and woes That mars all enjoyment From the skies and earth down All I ask for is a shoulder to lean When the world again goes black Not from loss of the bright But the state of injustice known That head of fair liberty bends And let’s reigns anarchy and chaos With biases of judgement Between pauper and crown All I ask for is a shoulder to lean When the world again goes black Not from loss of the right But of love to hold and to own And affections that lends Ears and heart to every of my oh’s! Neither withholding an endearment Nor risk of a frown All I ask for is a shoulder to lean
