Clean UpA Poem by Ethan Talby
I was made in a sack A feeling I would later lack I was blinded by the light By body kept saying fight or flight Later on I made a puzzle In it some green men were in a hustle I use my five senses to make love But their is no love if their is no glove Everyone is in a struggle of push and pull Worrying too much about the hot and the cool Drones passing out their opinions on the show They are soon left with nothing on the know We are all either a lamb or a lion One group is lying while the other is crying All our strawberry tarts are leaking on the floor Calling the repairman, but guess He isn’t here no more Men ask about belief in the craftsman Others respond with egg shells and a frying pan Women are complicated, why aren’t the men Peacocks are revered, why aren’t the peahen The yellow brick road leads to more than just the Emerald City Searching for happiness but far too busy The blue fairy can grant any wish Just don’t ask to be taught how to fish Who cares if you’re white or black Just get up and pick up the slack In the end we all just want to hold hands But man you have to first clean up the Earth and then your hands © 2009 Ethan Talby |
