The Doorways Between Two Worlds

the doorways 'tween two worlds, so little known,
where visitors pass through for just a time,
they traffic souls, conception to the bone,

it's where the lives begin with cry and moan,
before they're off to live out their lifetime,
the doorways 'tween two worlds, so little known,

the new ones come, the old ones leave, alone,
the population balances in time,
they traffic souls, conception to the bone,

with hands of man, with mortar, brick, are hewn,
much more than tending sicklies for a dime,
the doorways 'tween two worlds, so little known,

entering unknowns, exiting the knowns,
the doorways are the pathways, space and time,
they traffic souls, conception to the bone,

through hospitals the winds of life are blown,
with words of histories in verse and rhyme,
the doorways 'tween two worlds, so little known,
they traffic souls, conception to the bone.
