Analysis of Reality of life
Robert Talton 1975 (Pittsburg)
Life is like a beautiful flower
Live for immediate significance and not the hour
Fake people are like fireflies hiding in the field
Biding my time, I’m waiting for them to be revealed
When you feel you need a break
Rain is like a saving grace
Just like the sun is when it shines down on my face
