"trust me, people will remember my name forever" -anonymous


There was a man who lived on a cloud
He spent all of his days watching the people below
He watched the parties
He watched the funerals
He watched the prayers
He watched the sinners
He watched the children laugh
And he watched the children cry
He watched some grow old
He watched some refuse to
And he watched some never get the chance to
All throughout history
He watched
Through times of war
And times of peace
He watched great minds create
And great minds destroy
He could not intervene in the affairs of the people below
And this was his curse
The man on the cloud

I was on my way to Pittsburgh with my family,looking outside the window like I usually do. When I noticed this strange multicolored cloud that seemed to be following me wherever the car went... but at a faster speed than clouds would normally follow you. So I took out my laptop and immediately wrote this poem on what I think that strange cloud was.
