    A Million Miles for Nothing
    This life is all but desipated
    Ballooned and blown out long before its time
    I have fought the discontent and selfish side steps
    For a million miles., werily I dread a million more
    These eyes have blinded by will.

    Shut this down now, for I have no cheek Left to turn.
    Stop the presses and leave the oil can empty.
    Turn the wick downside , then atrophy the dream.
    If I had known I’d inhale this deep and not want to let it go.
    If I had known that wall could never be chipped.
    If I had known it’s all wrapped and dipped in indifference.

    I would have stayed in Heaven.


    K. Mulroney

    The title caught my interest. Veery powerful. Thought provoking.

    Thank you. I was actually really upset over whats going on in the US when I wrote this. I had just been laid off so I tend to write down the high intensity part of my thoughts in those times. Thanks again, I do appreciate it. Kim

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
