HOPE TORRES, Staff Writer
Modern Alas
On his shoulders
He carries the world
A heavy load of
Pain and sorrow
Day by day
He grows more and more
The crooked way
Soon his nose
Can touch his knees
Or the ground with ease
Why not throwing off
This impossible burden
Grab his own bundle
Hard enough to hold
