\nMY SORROW HID IN SHAME <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry 1970<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd darkness flowed in like flood waters, the sun went to bed with the sea.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThe moon now on night watch threw stars in the sky for to see.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI walked along the ring road footpath where vagrants and down and outs pass<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd imagined myself to be one in the low state I was in.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI passed the wreck of a car to which I likened myself<\/span><\/div>\n
\nPassed gravestones in the yard, gazed over at the Church of God<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI stopped by a sign which read Salvation Army Hostels<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd thought of hitching a ride But there was no traffic was in sight.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTil I saw the ghastly figure of a man who had been cast aside<\/span><\/div>\n
\nPassed a couple in the doorway, ignored their request for a light.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI continued down a side road to a pub called the Hope and Anchor<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhere beer smells make the wind unstable but found not a drop of hope nor anchor in my glass.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI passed houses now demolished, like my dreams lay in ruins on the ground<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI thought of the face of the one I loved, and tears ran away from my eyes<\/span><\/div>\n
\nI took a deep breath, the air tasted of meths, Oh to see the poor site of two city tramps<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLying like sacks on the ground, one begged a coin and the other a fag<\/span><\/div>\n
\nMy heart felt pity but pride held me back from giving my sympathy away.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAs I entered the hall of a bright discotheque, my sorrow hid in shame<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTo think of all the friends and things I possess, compared to the men whose souls are lost<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn the doorways of no consequence.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
