The World Is Filled

the world is filled
with ideals and disasters
farmers doctors lawyers
and laughter
insanity and a pint size portion of peace
fashion, material, commercial things
invasive din and compelling song
disparity and cell phone rings
hopeless promising and instant fixes
drugs and books and ice cream cones
teachers, preachers, living liars
leaders, followers, and the dumb
the world is filled
with passion, blood and honesty
words and motion and the beauty of breathing
expressions of affection and two lover’s harmony
