Your backyard is in shambles! <br />And you peer over my fence, <br />With attempts to convince me... <br />Your life is one that is more advantageous, <br />Than the one in peace I live? <br />One without conflict that exists? <br />One I enjoy just the way it is? <br /> <br />And you say this is what I am missing... <br />A chaos I've have long dismissed, <br />And, <br />From your point of view... <br />I am in need of more of it? <br /> <br />Is this your way, <br />Of asking for assistance... <br />To help turn on your light switch? <br /> <br />One of us has a need to wake up. <br />And in my world... <br />Your world is not invited! <br />That darkness you provide, <br />Will not on this side of 'your' fence reside.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
