LOVE LIFE AND DEATH

Life today is outlined as a friend
in news snippets or movie clips
you may play games, lose
or pretend with poker chips,

When your breath pants at soaps
love releases its romance
obituary's death has defined hopes
in war or in pieces by chance,

Who cares about timely order
when they only bring on fears
lets free our muscled minds
to embody unraveling ideas,

Whatever station at birth
we always miss the bus
even with clever imagination
about this earth-wise fuss

Some stay at home and read
or travel above and abroad
to find any tome to lead us
on a lonely roadway to god.
