Going in and Out Empty Handed Poem


Going in and out empty handed

Everything provided for in the game
Equally true for the battle of the earth 
All things bright and beautiful, 
big and small, tall and short
Ready for the taking

Looking up seeing the stars, bright and beautiful
Looking down seeing the earth, dressed to the nines
With all things bright and beautiful 
The ugly dominated by the shadows 
Only to brighten up by the bright of day
With nothing changed but very true to origin

Time to sow and reap wide like the goal posts
All roads leading to Rome in the picking 
But the race measured by will and reluctance
By the vintage point some outstrip all
Amassing wealth beyond believe
Some lost the race by the fall of the candle


TO BE CONTINUED
