Trade || The World in words
Rock, paper, scissors,
and close your eyes
Don't think, don't speak,
but move please.
Within an invisible hand,
who would trade the world in words?
for a life ever long.
Under the sun on the sea-tide
Who would trade the world in words?
for a perpetuated song.
Somewhere, a child is born
yet in another, a life is lost
While someone is making a fortune,
another person is losing it all
Beneath a lonely tower
Who would trade the world in words?
for a pulpit on high
Peak of a rocky mountain
Who would trade the world in words?
for the moon over the sky.
One baby was born into riches,
another into misery
Someone is living in a peaceful land
Yet another's land is dawning on war.
He would trade the world in words.
for his immortality insured
She would trade the world in words
for her love still unheard
Rock, paper, scissors,
and close your eyes
When one deals end
another bargain commences
When if there is wind from the left to the right.
Shall we trade the world in words?
for fame and fortune
Shall we trade the world in words?
—would our soul regress from 0 to 1
then remain.
