Where's Waldo?
He's Just Another Face in the Crowd
Where's Waldo,
when he's lost among the fields of disappointment?
Left to sob with weakened hands,
which are the final resting place
for his irritated eyes.
When his stocks have found rock bottom -
When hope isn't an option,
and the only road less traveled
has now fallen in.
when he's lost among the fields of disappointment?
Left to sob with weakened hands,
which are the final resting place
for his irritated eyes.
When his stocks have found rock bottom -
When hope isn't an option,
and the only road less traveled
has now fallen in.
Where's Waldo,
when shadows are hard to look at?
Squinting at disgusting light,
aviator sunglasses can't shield him
from justice, from truth.
When holes are now craters -
When mountains revolve around the sun,
and NASA has already
shouted "Mayday".
Where's Waldo,
when his tongue has filed for divorce?
Almost completing a 1000 piece puzzle,
only to find out
that one's missing.
When he can't seem to find himself anymore -
When all he has left to do,
is ask for help,
and scream, "Where's Waldo?"

Wow! THis is really incredibly good. Waldo and methaphor for "everyman" with a nice Robert Frost reference! Love it!
Again, really unique and quite good. Thanks for posting!
Really good
Wow! Really good poem, and much more emotional than the title lead one to believe. When I saw the title in the e-mail I laughed, which is good, but the actual work is much deeper. Nicely done.
