Lessons From Imagination
by
Stephen Cree
Imagine:
As you stand blindfold
before your executioners
the last voice you hear
will give the command to fire.
As you step from
a tower block ledge
lost, hoping to be caught
by a higher love.
As you stand alone
within a burning room
encircled by flames
that eagerly lick you to death.
Learn:
Devour your hours
embrace your days
as if they were your last.
Evict ill-will from within
give, be slow to take
and leave this world
with a touch of class.
