How Are You Doing

How are you doing
Are you at least well
Satisfied and content
Moving consistently forward
Or are you in reverse
And in confusion
How have you been
Sitting and slumbering
Or active and about
Tell me today of all days
How goes it friend
In that world of yours
That I no longer see
Is it ok and safe
Or are you at war
With emotions and images
Is the battle nearly won
Or have you seen defeat
How are you doing
Are they clapping for you
Or are they just booing
Calling out in venomous tongue
And on deadly turfs
Whats the business with that
Whats the forecast for today
And will it rain tomorrow
And throughout the week
They say the earth
Shall be inherited by the meek
But you must be stronger
Than they ever conceived
At least you were once
I hope your head is up
High above the storms
That ravage us all
How are you doing

I dedicate this to all those who are my friends, but because of distance, time, and whatever else are no longer a major part of my life. But do not forget, we are friends. And it shall always be so. Through thick and thin. How are you doing?
