    A Million Miles for Nothing
    This life is all but desipated
    Ballooned and blown out long before its time
    I have fought the discontent and selfish side steps
    For a million miles., werily I dread a million more
    These eyes have blinded by will.

    Shut this down now, for I have no cheek Left to turn.
    Stop the presses and leave the oil can empty.
    Turn the wick downside , then atrophy the dream.
    If I had known I’d inhale this deep and not want to let it go.
    If I had known that wall could never be chipped.
    If I had known it’s all wrapped and dipped in indifference.

    I would have stayed in Heaven.


    K. Mulroney

    Thank you. I was actually really upset over whats going on in the US when I wrote this. I had just been laid off so I tend to write down the high intensity part of my thoughts in those times. Thanks again, I do appreciate it. Kim

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
