Paradise?
Chuckling jokes about a wistful Paradise
I look behind them but cannot see this Eden
Alone in my cubicle but the voices are there
It is just a passing whim
Reality returns to taunt my fragile Nice dream
More and more,this question unravels
If there is such a Place,why are we not instantly there?
Confusing thoughts of a long lost land
Waiting to see it if only someone would take my hand
It does not require an imagination to consider
A softer and warmer place without Machines
I could do for good and never put these eyes upon:
The Internet
TV
Automobiles
Sex
War
Disease
Is it out there in this 2nd day of Below Normal September?
If it is under a masquarade
Let us take off her Disquise
Find at at last
A hope for the wise
