Puddles and Ponds
Above the horizon’s sentinel tree line
Dark moody clouds
Were ominously rolling my way
Swiftly, fat wet drops
Started spattering my cap
And the growing round puddles
Begun pooling into ponds
I’m still miles from home
Regardless, on the remaining trek back
I’ll be good-naturedly splashing
And sloshing my way along the track
Today, I found this interesting song, “And Yet the World Turns” by, Automatic Shoes, the lyrics are below
And Yet the World Turns: Lyrics; Automatic Shoes. Matthew Joseph Hughes, Washington.
Never had a dark thought
Never felt a love rot
I just work the nine to five
That’s all I do, and I’m alive
And I never really dreamed of too much more
Never seen a sad face
Or thought much about the human race
I just punch out and punch in
And I’d do it all again
And I never really dreamed of too much more
And yet the world turns
Though your soul, it burns
You long to end these bitter wars
And get the rich to feed the poor
But I guess I never thought like that before
Never wanted to run away
From all the bills I have to pay
I do my best to please the man
Who signs my checks and ties my hands
And I guess I never thought of too much more
Never had to fight
Or stand up for my own rights
I guess I’m no protected class
And I’m fine with kissing ass
And I’m not real keen on doing too much more
And yet the world turns
Though your soul, it burns
You long to end these bitter wars
And get the rich to feed the poor
But I guess I never thought like that before
No I never really dreamed of too much more
No I never really dreamed of too much more
And I guess I never thought like that before
