Be SomewhereA Poem by Kieran James McGovern2004
The most vicious lies are those We tell Unto Our own selves The people we know least Live nearer Than we think; In mirrors Everyone’ll set the world on fire Every bum is bound to teach, inspire Everyone is so benevolent Responsible and vigilant Everyone is gonna be someone Everbody’s a celebrity They’ve got such faith in fate And what is “meant to be” The greatest challenge Is to find balance Between character And talent It’s sad But true And can you imagine Can you fathom What’ll happen When we do? If we do But everybody’s gotta be somewhere Nobody’s got the time to spare Everybody’s gotta plot their scheme Everybody’s gotta chase their dream And they all look great in bathing suits Everyone has gotta tie their noose Gas in the bank Cash in the tank Little kids who never learned to say “please” and “thanks” © 2009 Kieran James McGovern |
