Getting Warmer

Once upon a time

There was a little rhyme

Where

Mechanical devotions

Devoid of emotion

Deny the notion

That rhythmic motion

In concert with lotion

Is

FUN

Under a burning sun

When you are the one

Who

Speaks for weeks

To geeks

Of leaks

In the floor

Of Heaven

'cause

The sky is falling

Eternity's calling

In glacial spalling

From a planet's mauling

And you are stalling

without sad intent

by paying the rent

to always collect

not to mention neglect

Cost

Lost in terms of Life

As I shake

While lying awake

In Silence Seeking Peace

Seeking Sleep

A wordless prayer our world to Keep

ALIVE
