| 21. Blue Sunglasses The grass is always greener to those with sunglasses of blue To have and to have not has nothing to do with vows of matrimony Sounds of seduction are just as loud to those who cannot hear People with acquaintances but no love will always be lonely The fast car, fast life, fast walk, and fast-talk lead to faster money Poster children to what life can offer for those on the fast track Slow learners, slow talkers, slow walkers, and those who don’t quite get it Disdained by peers, snubbed by society, discarded guests that will never be asked back Countless souls searching for things that will never be in their grasp Aged reminders of things that were and have been but will never be again Building upon bridges burned and torched by those who have gone before Ancestors turning over in graves, squandered dowries growing too thin Birth flavored lives colored by all that has been given The roll of the dice has nothing to do with what the future has to give Sterling silver spoons providing crutches to handicapped personalities Retirement sounding discontentment and what it was to live |
