Strangers In A Strange Land

-Strangers In A Strange Land-
by Keaton Foster



Shady
Is the lady
Who sits there
Waiting
Shifty
Is the man
Who has no
Real plan
Either knows
The other
They’re strangers
In a strange land
She
The lady
The one who
Is sitting there waiting
Lacks any form
Of bravery
She keeps to herself
She won’t say
Nothing to anyone
Desire does fill her heart
She wishes for love
But because of her desire
To say nothing to anyone
To speak for herself
She has become content
With the idea
Of remaining alone
It’s all that she
Has ever known
Sad it may be
Truth indeed
But he
The man
The one who
Is lacking a real plan
Also wishes for love
Desperately he needs
The better half he dreams
Maybe she, whomever it be
Can help him with a plan
Thus allowing him to achieve
His multitude of dreams
Oh how wonderful
That would be
But he and she
Again
Are strangers
In a strange land
And the odds
Of them coming together
Is a bit of salt in a sea of sand
So how can two people
One shady, the other shifty
One afraid, one uninspired
Find a way to each other
When lost is what they are
What they seem most of all
Passive aggressive witnesses
They challenge nothing
And stand for even less
They must rise up to themselves
And fight for what they need
Out of this thing called life
They must find a way to defeat
The neuroses of their beings
Come together and make it better
For themselves and each other
Thus no longer being
Strangers in a strange land
They can do it
But only if they try
I’m sure they will
Because
I’m certain they must…
