Toying With Eternity Poem by Laurence Overmire

Toying With Eternity

The things that really matter in this world

Don't pay a dime
Not worth the occupation
The trivial infinitely more
Profitable
Compelling artistries toward
The buying and selling of widgets
Ignoring with the simple
Thumb of a childish nose

The things that really matter.

~ Laurence Overmire
