The votes are in. <br />It appears as though, <br />The ones receiving more from life... <br />Are those not burden, <br />By a carrying on their shoulders... <br />A methodical mythical way to live. <br />With a happiness that shows upon them, <br />Dancing to live with that sparkle still twinkling... <br />In their unclouded eyes. <br /> <br />And...on the other hand, <br />Strange enough as it is... <br />Those with bills, <br />Piling up as they sit... <br />In those big fancy homes marooned on lush hills, <br />Seem more concerned about the basics... <br />They wish today they didn't leave behind. <br />As the times climb the trails to knock, <br />On those 'French' designed and custom made doors. <br /> <br />'Are you a materialistic capitalist on these shores? <br />Or are you just a bling wearing socialist, <br />Caring less who wears the titles... <br />As long as you get what it is you need, <br />Mingling amongst all 'wannabee' socialites? <br />Hmmm? <br />Which one are you? <br />How do you fit in with all of this, <br />Toxic display of diversity? ' <br /> <br />~Good observation. <br />Certain things I like to keep private. <br />Where is the bathroom? ~ <br /> <br />'Just to the left of that exit sign. <br />Hope everything comes out okay. <br />And just as you wish and hoped to find.' <br /> <br />~How appropriate placed and stated. <br />Your comments. <br />And the exit.~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
