Sort of True Life
About half way through this next poem I had a slight break with reality and decided to go straight for the humor! Hope you enjoy it.

When she was a child of dreams
She knew for certain stars could fly
And high above the billowed clouds
Is where she knew the angels lie
When she was a child of light
She saw the world in different views
In colors filled with golden dawns
And everything she saw was new
When she was a child of life
She put behind her childhood dreams
After that
Everything went to hell
She lost her job
Got shot
Was arrested for public lewdness
And ended up in debtors prison
Spent 16 months on skid row
Found religion
And three years later elected president
