I want to
Be
Like Switzerland
Establish
A treaty
With the
World
And myself,
I'd like to stay
Inside my
Shell
Or eliminate it
Completely
Could it be simple?
Or does it have
To be
Complex?
It's a matter of
Perspective,
I guess
I'm an elk
In the water
Avoiding the current
Undertow
I've never been
Good
At going with
The flow
Blaming it
On someone
Else
Won't make it
Go away
I've learned that
The hard way
But I still
Keep trying to
Stay afloat
On tidal waves
