It was a hard day in the world, <br /> I'm just hoping for seclusion, <br /> please leave me alone, <br /> but, I harbor no illusions - - - <br /> <br /> It is a not much different feeling, <br /> than the one when I arise, <br /> that is... before I greet the world, <br /> and put on my disguise! <br /> <br /> Why is it that we play the games we play? <br /> - - - before we pay the price that we must pay, <br /> when there are those that have so little, <br /> and love it every day?<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/worldly/
