Return To The Previous Poem - Less Than A Second
FOR THE MOMENT By ... Steve Lucky I am safe and secure, for the moment. My job gives me enough of a steady income To satisfy my basic needs of food, shelter, and entertainment. None of this is pernament. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. Although I do not want my life Dominated by worries that will probably never happen, I should keep in mind things could be Much worse than they are for the moment. Little I seem able to do, for the moment, As far as changing things on a global scale is concerned. Writing a poem or a story Or contributing an idea to a movie or TV show Can give one a sense of accomplishment But what different does it make outside the world of entertainment And the people directly involved with it? I still depend on my job To maintain my current standard of living. None of this needs to be pernament. In the blink of an eye, it can all change. My life should not be dominated By dreams of success that will probably never happen. However, I should keep in mind things could be Much better than they are for the moment.
