THEY
by Charlie Morgantoday i'll be voyager; wayward, even.
not turn right at just the right time;
not turn left at just the correct time.
then i'll right the Earth, it's leaning
like it's the Tower of Pisa, Italy and
all our scampering around isn't helping.
i'll clean my reading glasses for good news;
good news may be just around the corner.
all my friends say so, say good will come.
they are the THEY that everybody knows,
and THEY say everything; i believe THEY.
OMMM, THEY IS RIGHT, OMMM, THEY IS. 12/02/2008 Posted on 12/02/2008

First stanza got me to wondering - can you condition yourself to avoid being subject to conditioning? I dunno, but that's what I keep telling myself :> |
| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 12/02/08 at 09:05 PM What you say you're going to do in the first stanza - that is exactly what's recommended as one practice to help avoid dementia. Hehe. Not that you're in danger of it. LOL. I'm just sayin. I ADORE the last stanza. Sometimes they's right. |
