A chair in the corner,
with a lamp above its head.
A sofa on the wall,
and a carpet turned to shreds.
Can be gone by the openining of eyes
and waking up to bills, loans, and
mortgages to pay,
“it’s Sold,”
is too soon what we say:
Arguments in the kitchen,
take out bags and boxes in the living
room,
and this is why we all start itiching.
A family started by a couple so
madly in love then
love was taken out of the mad,
one said,
“Let’s just buy our dream house,
it won’t be that bad”
The boxes are unpacked,
“No! That’s going there!”
“I wanted this room for my own”
Why is life so unfair?
It’s not about what we
Have,
it’s how we treat and
behave.
Have, is in
Behave,
Buying a dream house,
getting married,
having a child,
just gives a family another reason
for an outrage.
Stay where you are,
focus on the manners and
civil speaking.
Just because the home is new to you
does not mean there are no mice in the kitchen
and no floors creaking.
No matter what is taken away or
pushed inside,
a dream house is only a dream,
so look at each other as you
are only human,
and swallow your
god ****** pride.
Amen.
