An Evening Poem
There is a planet
In a galaxy
Called the Milky Way
And the planet
Orbits the sun
An earth year contains
365 days
And ask me
How I'm doing
Ask me
"Are you okay?"
And I'll tell you
Yep I'm lovin'
The absurdity
Of it all
Use to get upset more
Now not so much at all
People pursue
The wrong things
They do it every day
Repeating actions
That increase their misery
But me
I'm A-Okay
And I watch
Documentaries
About young Americans
Getting killed
In foreign wars
Some one tell me
Why were we in
Afghanistan
What was that for?
The men who
Planned the attack
Weren't even from there
And a plane never
Hit the Pentagon
But idiots will
Believe it
They don't seem to care
An expert in army intelligence
Took all the measurements
And things don't add up
At all
And controlled demolition
Of tower 7
That happened too
Wake up people
Your own government
Lies to you
On this Earth
There are people
Some good and bad
And when I think
About my small existence
Sometimes I get sad
Not wealthy
And will not be famous
But who really cares
I got a photo
Of the man of Tao
See him walking there?
I took the photo as he turned
Down my street
Even asked how
The lady in the garden was
Now isn't that neat
I try to love people
Don't expect much
In return
Be kind to others
This you should learn
