HOW COULD I REACH THEE?
Melvin Banggollay


How could I reach thee
When you're like the sky
Unlike me forever down
among the dust in town.

You wear crown of beads
with glitering golden heads
Unlike me forever a clown
smiling to earn a pound.

You sip nectar of honey
In a glass for the wealthy
While I dig deep my hand
only to live just like a man.

How can I ever reach thee
When I felt so unworthy
To hold you in this palm
with nothing but a psalm.
