World Wide Welcome

Robert Robinson

Free verse
Flying, flailing, failing, falling.
Lying, ailing, ailing, all in.
Tying, sailing, bailing, appalling.
Yin, yang, bang, bing.
Sin, fang, gang, sing.
Plying, playing, redacting, wailing.
Lying, laying, acting, ailing.
Flying, falling, swimming, crawling.
Sinking, trying, failing, drowning.
World welcoming, hold your breath.
Truth is life, lies are death.
Welcome to the world, hold your breath.
