»Nomad«

by Kelly Attrill

If it was you sleeping on the park bench making it your home.
Would you have the audacity to moan?
Complain about everything, under the sun because you live below the poverty line,
You might as well run...

Away from politics, conflict & distrust. Do these things exist to you?
Is having a bath a must?
Living life simply, going where you can.
Keeping your few belongings, is your number one plan.

Answering to no one, doing as you please, affecting the economy negatively – with ease.

He lived to be a hundred, a hundred & three. Just by living day to day not knowing his family tree.

He eliminated stress from his life,
letting no one rule but God.
Every moment was worth it even though it was so damn hard!
