I Wonder
Michael Walsh Poetry: http://goo.gl/RPjs3f
I wonder what would happen if a cow was born today,
That couldn’t stomach grass or stand the smell of hay,
A dog that hated walkies, a cat that couldn’t purr;
It’s best to go to sleep, my lad,
No point in going there.
I wonder what would happen to a bird that couldn’t fly,
A fish that couldn’t swim to save its life.
A tiger born with spots or a drama without plots,
A congressman who couldn’t deal with strife.
If politicians didn’t lie, if bankers never steal,
If rich men knew how much it hurts to be a down at heel,
Would the world be better if conscience ruled the man…
It’s best to go to sleep, my lad,
And do your dreaming there.
