The World

THE WORLD

Is the world round?

Though wisdom says spherical

As an egg?

But could it be flat

as a surface

or curved,

As a man’s face

It could be straight

As an I

Or bent

From the thigh

It could be Strong

 as a gale

Soft?

 it could be frail

Rough or neat,

Stained?

That could be it

No,

The world is crooked

Even as the branch of a tree

It is cruel

To the core

Evil

When you look the more

A world with no rule,

No code

Free to do

Just with a little gold
