Difference

I remember my childhood vision of the world How I changed to all things to suit my need I even taught my eleven chickens how to swim Drowning them in my careless blind proceed To happiness. I had no intentions to smother them They just did not take to the diving process And submerging them under clothes was a stratagem I will never try again I will never try again Not all my glory is the other man’s happiness. Let the world be different, the trees when drinking light Drink not all the waves, and birds singing sweetly Blend a litany of varied notes, and I abroad found delight From architectures telling their cultural history. Each culture cradles tongue and attitude to success For the environment keeling them against it winds. Each people design differently a democratic process That brought them into today That brought them into today Since childhood then, I fit no more chickens with my designs.
