SNAPSONG 255

State-of-the-Nation Snaps (Part 4)

Do you know how it feels

     To be and not to be

To stand stark alone

     In the middle of a crowd

Do you know how it feels

     To walk the streets without a face

To be the missing link

     In the universal Chain of Being

Do you know how it feels

     To be the absent name

In the register of those who count

     The one whose story the world forgets

Do you know how it feels

     To seek and not to find

To cry and not be heard

     To stand and not be seen

Do you know how it feels

      To love and not be loved

To be used then dumped

     Like a shoe without a sole

Do you know how it feels

     To live in a country

That neither cares nor counts

     Where the flag flutters like a ragged shroud?
