Poetry For Everyday People

Wrong

I wanna spend less time
worrying about the things
I can't change,

dog catchers
confining man's best friend
for being abandoned,

I wanna free innocence
lock up haters and liars,

the way image is presumed
sickness me,

lost so lost this world in
what does not matter, trivial
living based on billboards and
advertising, mentally fed illusions,

how many times will we allow
ourselves to be conned?  

are we living?  are we using our minds?
are our souls dead on arrival or robbed by life?

tick tock cemetery plot, seeking forgiveness
for all the things we're not,

I wanna spend less time
worrying about the things
I can't change,

but I won't,

there is a way,
there's got to be a way,

to live
feel
with respect,
love,
integrity,

a way to kiss
the moon and
wake up shining.
