Love In the Morning

The sun beams down 
on the verdant earth 
(I guess I am not a particularly good Jew, Christian or Buddhist 
The sun streams down on the verdant earth 
The city warms up 
The sun streams down on the verdant earth 
A cup of tea 
lets my heart beat again 
One must battle with one's demons 
As they threaten to overwhelm one 
I await an article from a collectibles magazine 
which I have written for 
Capitalism has its faults - obviously 
but I suppose it is better than socialism 
which I experienced at a religious kibbutz not long ago 
in Eretz Yisroel not long ago 
I kind of liked it....
