Subject: A walk on a road

They told us
in honors english
that we were the best
and they told us in poems
whenever there is a road
it always means your life
or a decision somebody is gonna make
But what if the road is really a road
I mean what if the rocks really are rocks
instead of turrbulent events that
made this road who is was
what if there was really a twist in the road
that the walker just followed
and wrote about that instead of the crazy
number of blue jays he saw
and the deep thinkers of high society
thought what he meant by a twist in the road
was a life altering decision
because that's what they wanted it to be
because they feel useless
with there hundred thousand dollar Harvard education
Without something to analyze
other than how good their mocha is
or how well wall street is doing
maybe they just want to identify with something
that really wasn't intended for them
when it was written
for that person
that never finished high school
who lives to the pulse of the forest
whose life is the road
who holds it so dear.
Its a wonder how so many people can
be brought together
how they can identify with each other
through scratches of black
china ink
on an ivory page.

Hey, at least I called it by it's right name, it did originate in china, not india :).
