A Pebble in the Shoe : Prose Poem: Life

written by Poet : EC


In dreamland:
Millions - and all of them for me
that's my future
or so they say, all these e-mails
you won, you've been chosen - lucky you
all you have to do is to give EVERYTHING
yes, everything except yourself

In reality:
someone out there try to pry open my money chests
to grab what's not there
emptiness upon emptiness
or something like that

I laugh it off
even shrug it down to nothingness
still, I feel their blazing eyes upon my property
the one out of the realm of fantasies

To be a prey is devastating
to be hunted like so much meat
to be speared and brought down, even killed
all for a dream of millions, of dollars, of cents
of a new life bought with mine
such a hunt brings perspective to everything

What we are, we are not
we are considered to be what we have
kindness equals stupidity to these people
politeness eauals dumbness
a life equals obstacles - a pebble in the shoe ...
