    One Life



    One Life
      

    There was something in the wind,
    listen as it drifts by…

    The battlefield littered with pieces of bravery
    mother sings in the distance,
    wandering children with toys in hand
    pull the trigger of indifference.

    They all want to win but none know how
    so they just fire away,
    all the while trying to decide
    which game they want to play.

    “Believe as I do or die”
    is a worthy catalyst to fuel every fight,
    the band plays on as yin and yang
    dance through the night.

    The stage is set the actors in place
    and they perform from the heart,
    when the show is over and the audience is pleased,
    that’s when death plays it’s part.

    There was someone in the wind,
    ..I heard him drift by.

    great imagery Artie, really like where you took this

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
