Model of poom
I'm an old lady.
And I don't have long to live.
I am only strong enough to take.
Not to give. No time left to give.
I want to drink. I want to eat.
I want my shoes taken off my feet.
I want to talk but not to walk.
Because it I walk. I have to know.
Where it is I want to go.
I want to sleep but not to dream
I want to play and with every game
To live with love but not to love
The world to move but not to move
I want I want forever and ever
The world to work the world to be clever.
Leave me be, but don't leave me alone
That's what I want. I'm big round stone
Sitting in the middle of thunderstorm.
There you are : that's true.
That's me. Now : you.
