David Byrne Poet Rhyme

Reality?

My world is what I make of it 
The world that I project
It’s sometimes magic everywhere
And sometimes just a spec
From spec to mighty universe
It’s always in my head
A universe that’s full with sprite
And other times their dead
The universe is not as real
As thoughts in mind conceive
You think that sword is made of steel
Well that’s what you believe
Let’s say it’s made of melody
Instead of molecules
If all believe conformity
And now we have new rules
The world is what we make of it
The world that we project
It’s sometimes tragic everywhere
And sometimes what the heck

Sara Kendrick July 17, 2010 at 4:22 AM It is true that we can have some control over our life's situation...Life would be much better for everyone if we handled life's situations in a mature manner...Keep the creative pen flowing...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work...Sorry that you have had the sore throat for that is really a terrible pain especially in this heat of summer...Doris had surgery on a cerivcal disc for a bulging disc...The way they go in there makes the person to be hoarse...Sara
