The Better Deal

the better deal?
i am afraid i do not think like that
i just live and learn
after all,
he was not there the day i was born
the stones were set
and you may live in sub fear
you may feel the cold in the summer
and pull shadows too near
but i am no better or no worse
it is just a life lived –
with varying degrees of hurt
what does it matter
if you map does not work
if you tap of dreams suddenly runs dry
the better deal?
i just do not buy it



James Garratt – Friday 4th July 2008
