Happiness Here

Poem for Java Jive!

Lacking motivation
Lacking inspiration
All manipulation
All humiliation
What sort of nation
in this ageless situation
would proclaim this proclamation?

No soul
No poor soul
Innocent soul
Kind soul
Lost soul
kowns the road
the good road
the right road
But who's to say
what the road's to hold
or to what it gives way?

Would you take it?
take the road?
unknowingly?
unconsciously?

you know
and i know
and they know
but no one knows

no one thinks
no one feels
careless of their carelessness
ignorant to their ignorance
dulling senses
weakening mind
strengthening heart
the heart of the blind

Happiness down the road
along the road
the good road
the right road

happiness here
