A tiny ounce of poison
dropped into a clear pool
A nasty, cold black
tainted a pure, bright blue
At first the drop stayed small
a speck that was barely there,
But with time the darkness grew
until poison was everywhere
The poison made me foggy
heavy and confused-
Are these thoughts I'm having really me
or are they really you?
But while the poison made a show
of having won the war
Little did it know
what a fight it had in store
For though my pool that was once blue
has turned completely black
I'm surrounded by other pools
bright, and poised for attack
They'll rain their light down onto me
they'll dump, oh, they'll pour
Until my darkened, poisoned pool
clears up more and more
For in the end, how could one think
or be tricked to believe
That a single, foul, pesky drop
could beat a tsunami?
