Chose Your
World Night sky, luminous stars A beautiful room, soothing light, a cushion A chamber, soft music, violas, a flute A contemplative state of mind The lion tearing apart flesh The tight-lipped grin of the banker The mean pranks of would-be politicians The high price of simple pleasures, hers A lovely chamber A great hall of peace A quiet room A well made bed A long line A form to fill out A hot day A crowded restroom A garden with flowers The shade of trees A fountain of water A flowing stream Mean laughter Kindness that comes with a threat A piercing look A smile that makes you cringe A quiet cafe A glass of wine A gentle touch of the hand Just you and me Rowdy teenage boys Bratty kids "Cool, awesome, Hey, dude!" The world of troubles far away A quiet cove nearby The setting sun An evening plan Corporate profit Personal loss The same ol' ad infinitum The latest trend The book of life A gentle breeze The book of death Dry lips, old bones. Chose your world! |
