The Big Wide World

    


The sun
is shining ,outside
the kids
play and run
with laughter in their eyes
I am , posed here
my hands , covering fear
trying to plan
through the unclear
fake opaque ,life
from which we all peer .

I do so worry
all the time
that after I leave
will they still smile
emotional thieves
they run
their minute miles
with finance and peace
going out of style
and the hours on lease
for an expensive worthwhile
to contracted disease
in an airborne full flight .

I'm observing
the beginning
of a new time
where the deserving
are not winning
they're losing their plight
all the politicians saying
'austerity is fine'
with too many paying
for it
with their lives . .
