THE WICKED GOOD RACE ... Rats race to win that prize; To live, to succeed, to death. We're making progression now, by God; Put a hurtin' on that cheese cheesy. We're seeing regression now, by Man; Put a certain on that most mostly. Sheep graze to trim that meat; To eat, to fat, to death. We're making sense now, by God; Put a meaning to that dead deadly. We're building defense now, by Man; Put a gunning on that beast beastly. Fishes swim to sow that seed; To mate, to row, to death. We're making babies now, by God; Put a netting on that quick quickie. We're cloning cells now, by Man; Put a restraining on that mad madly. Man's want to be that God; To create, to procreate, to death. We're making gods now, by God; Put a chaining on that free freely. We're ruining humanity now, by Man; Put a ruling on that just justly. Run the wicked good race; Just take first place. Win the wicked good race; Only God to give chase. M.A. Miller 06.28.00 |

As has been said-- The winner of the rat race will after all-- be a rat,,(or something like that) Good Poem Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Sunny1 ... That's the response I was waiting to hear ... "Thinking" ... I strive, in my work, to make people think (not decypher), but really think ... How can this work be applied to my life, or does it apply at all? ... Thanks much to you and Prometheus for taking the time ... |

A wonderous poem I did read One that caused me to sit and reflect Within my brain it planted a seed Ponder I will out of respect This is a treasure and causes one to really dig deep. I like that. Great writing. |
