THE OBSERVER (Quatern)
by Dhaye
She always look outside her door
Or stay beside her window pane
She wants to know and see much more
Her neighbor’s deeds and what they gain
She has to meet the rich and poor
She always look outside her door
But that motive of yesterday
Gone with the wind, twas blown away
She’s now but an observant one
Who always judge and sneers at man
She always look outside her door
Seems she forgot what is life for
This poor woman, she never know
That now she looks like a scarecrow
Her feet stands flat on the floor
She always look outside her door.
Or stay beside her window pane
She wants to know and see much more
Her neighbor’s deeds and what they gain
She has to meet the rich and poor
She always look outside her door
But that motive of yesterday
Gone with the wind, twas blown away
She’s now but an observant one
Who always judge and sneers at man
She always look outside her door
Seems she forgot what is life for
This poor woman, she never know
That now she looks like a scarecrow
Her feet stands flat on the floor
She always look outside her door.
