Funny How Everything Turns to S...

Funny How Everything Turns to S...

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Life!

"
You're riding high, things are looking up, tomorrow's

 

Looking hopeful, everything's puppies and rainbows!

 

Then, down comes the hammer on your dreams

 

Suddenly, everything looks bleak, there's a black cloud

 

Over your left shoulder, a laughing evil dude over

 

Your right, and your outlook takes a dive,

 

Right into reality, sparse reality--if you're holding

 

A four leaf clover, it immediately turns black and wilts

 

While you watch, I'm telling you, it's like The

 

Blowtorch of Misfortune lights your hopes on fire,

 

And as you watch with unbelieving eyes,

 

A Bonfire of Your Dreams shoots up into the night sky


And just like that, your left holding ashes!

Eventually you have to come down from what ever high you're on, and you don't know what happened. I think it's a matter of chemical imbalance. Anyway, if there weren't any lows, there wouldn't be any highs either.
