Box
BOX
What’s in a box?
Is there a chance that this small box
I have here is the key to my future,
that I will need nothing more in my life ever again?
No job juggling numbers of paying bills
and skimping for food.
No dreams of holidays or getting a car.
All I need is here in my box,
8 by 6inch of cardboard one inch deep.
I open it and find this pad here with this pen.
I do this poem, the poem that will change my future for ever.
What’s in your box?
Credit cards, God, jewellery or other riches?
Open it and find out.
I have the key to my future right here,
out of my box—a book and a pen, nothing more.
