It's All Greek


Hurried crowds 
in a fray
Those dreary clouds 
of gray --

Shining rays 
that 
light the day
Winding paths 
that 
lead the way --

Blooming blossoms 
of May
Looming gloom 
of doomsday --

A terrific 
or 
terrible day
That for which 
you've prayed
Divine denials 
and delays
Something 
Someday 
Someway --

Yeas and nays
that people say
The same games
that people play --

Fortress raised
Fortune made
Cache of swag
Sway and cachet --

The graceful glaze
of potter's clay
Skyscraping monuments 
shaped --

How tall and big is
all this anyway?
Iota.
(Remember I told ya.)
It's Only Temporary Anyway.
