Poem # 12

What A Wonderful World

The hole burns right through my chest
the crossroad of dark and light to where
the world we know only moves forward
if it is full of the corrupt and the sinister
The hope in us why anyone should ignore
the texture of the rain and the open road
the greatness in love and an open heart
you're never alone, What a sight to behold
Two roads decide the reasons for humanity
One leads you to disturbance and reform
the other more than ignorant contentment
So many choose madness some declare
You choose to be offended only if you dare
The recklessness of whom I do not condone
do you need them as your motivation
nothing more than foolish self-justification
do you need them as excuses to embrace
your desires to reach all of the lost souls
