Just Another Cliche







The universe coughed and the world stopped
Neither the immense skyscraper nor the miles of concrete
Could repel the tiniest of tiny intruders
And a prayer was heard:
What doesn’t kill me – makes me stronger?

And a voice answered:
There is no time like the present.

The supplicant further wondered:
Is ignorance bliss – when I am wiser?

The universe moved on without parting advice
Because actions speak louder than words.

And the pleading songs sung:
Why, oh why - is love blind?

And an ethereal voice whispered:
Can’t please everyone – so go please yourself.

And the brethren all gasped in unison: What?
