My name is Chance. This is my poem for July 30, 2005

what if i told you the things from within
are so very different from the things you’re without?

what if i told you that everyone takes
but, as good as it gets, it’s the lesser man’s fate

what if i told you that your head hangs low
only when somebody says what you know?

the lion’s share thoughts are surely in reach
if you take a moment to learn what you teach

the back of a book, those stories of prayer
tiny thoughts tinkering and dancing on air

on air that you breathe, and want to believe
while you won’t steal anything, these thoughts? you should thieve.

What if i told you this air you breath in
is the first clue you’ll get: to start… to begin.
