A poet dreams upon a ledge,
\nwhile painters pace abysses’ edge.
\nAs bulldozers level mountains,
\narchitects build indoor fountains.
\nNothing in this life is certain.
\nEvery answer has its curtain.
\nWords are said and weapons raised
\nas the gods are being praised.
\nIt’s been said that all professions
\ncome with their own crazed obsessions.
\nBaby, you must make your choices
\nonce you understand the voices.
\nBehind madness logic simmers:
\ntoo much light, you hit the dimmers.
\nAll that gold, it surely glitters,
\n‘nough to give a man the jitters.
\nSea to sea see former monkeys
\nwrithing now like power junkies.
\nThat spark evolved from two sticks
\nhas us in our final fix.<\/p>\n
