Familiar With the Setting
I was not raised on islands of enchantment.
Nor do I know anyone who drives a Bentley,
And lives in a mansion!
For some reason,
I was born into a reality...
That came to test my every breath.
And games played like 'dodgeball'
And hide and seek...
Came in very handy as I grew older.
And for a number of years,
I lived in emotional shock!
From losing friends I knew to a nonsense war.
That once was called Viet Nam.
Now a vacation destination!
A tourist 'must see' spot.
I've witnessed some wonderful people,
Pass on!
Being near death myself a few years ago...
Gave me a boost to my insight!
And my eyes became clearer.
Becoming clearer than I thought they could.
Opened for the maximum of enlightenment.
And not of my doing...
I might add!
I was not raised on islands of enchantment.
Nor do I know anyone who drives a Bentley,
And lives in a mansion!
However...
And this is strange!
I am familiar with the setting,
And the scene!
