Quagmire

In unending ways we still gather
Still make the attempt to unite
The things that divide us also
Define us
It is hell to have to choose
When the nursery rhymes became thesaurus
And a nobel prize a price list
I felt it was too much to figure out
Standing by the beach this night
I let the ocean foam and swell
Around my delighted feet to
Be surprised by the salty sand
I want to run and frolic
Go body surfing and watch waves
Listening to there endless sound
I can continue on you see
Because it puts focus and clarity 
Into all this insanity.
