Poems
May 2010
Welcome
Welcome to the adult world!
Feel a clumsy failing fool.
Living is a tricky game,
Harder than they tell at school.
Every day beyond your means:
Hide it from the public view.
All around must never guess
What it is they're hiding too.
Conquer bedrooms, conquer boardrooms,
Build your mountain to the sky.
Have a rΓ©sumΓ© to die for:
When you get it, then you die.
Yet the children play in dirt,
Heedless of a pointless star:
"Never ask us what we'll be:
Know that we already are."
