We're All Nero's

We're All Nero's

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

'La, La, La, La, La!'

"

From my window, I see the neighbor lady undressing--


no, I see the world is in serious trouble; I'm sensing



a restlessness, a vague wishing that something needs 


to change,


exactly what doesn't matter, just something, as long 


as they're out of range



when the repercussions happen, and rest assured, 


there will be repercussions.


And you can't argue with them, it's a very 


discourteous discussion.



I guess in a way, we're all Nero's; playing the fiddle 


while the world burns,


about to make the same mistakes all over again; we 


never seem to learn.



Momentarily we righted the ship, after taking a hard 


right,


but now it looks like our discordant fate fills our 


sight.



The warning signs are there for all to see, yet we are 


blind,


stumbling around in the dark, hoping we run into 


whatever we hope to find
