Road Blocks

Elephant in the middle of road

My life is a continuous road block

These stops to make me see

The things that I should cherish thee

These necessary delays to become free

 

Road Blocks Revisited in Iambic Pentameter

 

My life is a continuous road block

These stop-pings are making me wait to see

Things I should cherish so unselfishly

Necessary delays to become free

To understand how to unlock the clock

 

To become unbounded by space and time

To walk in light and speak wisdom forthright

In faith removing barriers in sight

These stupid animosities that kill

Equipped with the knowledge as I stand still

Fear to stop the first step to end its crime

(Note first part read last)
