"I"



I- said; "You will reap what you sow,"
They said; "So what"
I- said: "You think of me, so I must exist"
They said "Your philosophy is unsound
We cannot hear, see, touch, taste or smell you"
I- said; "but I am invisible, I create form"
They said; "Sorry it's inadequate... in-formation"
I- said : "I am the cause of creation"
They said: "effect my bank balance"
I- said: "I give you unconditional love"
They said; "Go Away, you talk Rubbish"
And then they were cut off and
could no longer communicate with "I"
So they struck up a match with stress
that ignited cigarettes and booze......
Ah! The joys of
reminiscing in a cancer ward
