This World and That!

In this world, rules run amok
Don't smoke, and hey don't fuck...
In that world, no one gives a damn
Propriety, sobriety, all a sham.

In this world, act on a cue
You are what others see of you...
In that world, be stripped clean
Pretenses don't mean a thing.

In this world, watch your stuff
Save this, hoard that, it's never enough...
In that world, there are no doors
What is mine, darling, is as much yours.

In this world, I fit a role
Have a past, gotta have a goal...
In that world, time's gone astray
You die and live today.

I don't fit in, if you say
Then you must know what's amiss...
I am of that world
Though I live in this!

  1. Incredibly true. Very few of us manage to shake off the shackles of sobriety and propriety and enjoy every moment of life. Experience every flavour and breathe in every storm :-)
