Poem    Crackers and Dust by Michael de Waal-Montgomery (5 ratings) Rate this Poem (5 best) 1 2 3 4 5   1 comments / You must excuse me, friend, for what I am not; I was last in line to see God And you must speak to me in a tongue I know; My teachers were only few And if you ever see me crouching down Like a peasant to a king Know it’s only the way of a man so lost That heaven took him in. What’s short but sweet or long and drawn Are all one and none of the same If I were to put it in laymen’s terms Life is just one big game. Sponsor ads
