Poem: Reasons To Keep On

Reasons to keep on

1
We build crystal palaces
Outside our tarpaper shacks of dreams

They make each other gleam
In juxtaposition

2
You can't be sure about the next world
Or the ones beyond that

3
All is never lost
But often gets misplaced

4
It's better to sit in the sun
And think about

That Cold Island across the river
Than the other way around

5
Our toys do not matter
This is as good as it gets

And it may be this good
Or better tomorrow.
