Some Hearts, Or Souls
Some hearts are fat and lazy
Some souls are too
They wish to eat and drink and play
As a child sings for singing's sake
And says just a little more play
When time comes to order their room
Or their mind.
Should we condemn them
Chubby chortling souls that they are?
Is life nothing but a brief burst of childish
Love-of-being and pleasure in the moment
And then work till your hands blister
And hard skin forms on your soul
Encasing your wonder?
No.
