EnlightenmentA Poem by Earl SchumackerOnce upon a railroad trackEnlightenment
Head on collisions can not be predicted At great speeds they are hard to avoid People on the train sleep in their calm Not for long when something goes wrong North bound hits south bound boom! Mr. Hobo makes the tracks his home He stands upright for the special delivery He looks left to see bright lights coming Then the other way to see yet others So much rapid illumination thrills him He smiles and thanks God for his luck Thanks God it was not two trucks The impact creates enlightenment If you must travel, go locomotive Generally speaking from experience It is a safer form of transportation We can only surmise the reason why People love to ride © 2018 Earl Schumacker |
