Paradise
How can i tell him that the Paradise he longs for is not the reality of Paradise?
the palm trees that sway might come crashing down on his head
the winds that blow doesnt always send a chill down the spine
and the waters that beckon invitingly can become treacherous
...the tides may bring in malordourous refuse
Paradise only exists in the imagination
and can be created amidst the
industrial waste and effluent
race wars and riots
foreclosures
economic ruin
idiotic public utterances from politicians
and their even more asinine policies
and may
but
just for a fleeting moment
exist in the arms of a woman who loves you
now
that is.....Paradise
