Men of Lilliput

if the span of your attention
was a mighty mountain range
along its length and side to side
would you think it strange
if lines wre drawn upon you
by some men of lilliput
that they might rule along you
from overhead to foot
would you heave with laughter
would you split your sides
would your cheeks run wet with tears
milked from the salty tides
or would you shake them from you
erasing every line
and bid them live along you
in harmony divine

This is a powerful poem that is so honest in its statement and delivery that its message tugs at the heart. Emile. #7
