2004-04-26 - Pop Quiz
welcome guest; pop quiz (a test)
sometimes it's best to ditch the rest
to yearn to earn with fuel to burn
trading miles for lessons learned
then spurned, adjourned, returned
and not discerned
they say whatever goes 'round comes 'round turns
confronting us with curve balls we have burned
great balls of fire will we ever learn?!
that's not a question on the test
it would be your best guess at best
I guess
I must confess
that this here test
is very contraversial (non-commercial)
that is there's nothing here to buy
no grade point average
no wise guy
no dean's list, boss or master to impress
just questions popped on you hence the address
why are you here, just to fill space?
what occupies your time and place?
where are you going?
what do you live for?
dangerous questions (I could give you more)
why were you born when time stood still
the instant you were born until
your parting passage to another place
framing one subset in time and space
a segment of emotion, thought, devotion
and the thing which has you going in this motion?
set your sights on this horizon one and all
whet your quills and with one heaving breath withdraw'l
and exhale the black carcinogen of strife
Now answer this: what's more important than your life?
