Box

Box
by Ted L Glines

working working
no time to play
postpone your dreams
for another day

eternity waits
an endless stage
for your childish glee
or dreams of rage

children know
magickal places
dragons and elves
grins on their faces

but growing up
is serious stuff
put your childhood away
learn how to bluff

living by logic
from man-made books
kills your soul
under pious looks

an empty life
is something built
one day at a time
from fears and guilt

growing misuses
drown childhood gladness
replaced with abuses
of adult sadness

rushing your life
schedules and clocks
all of it ends
in a fancy box

going to heaven
or that place of screams
such an awful waste
for the soul with no dreams
