fantasy

(this is a first draft of something I wrote this morning...what do you guys thing?)

There is a land where rakes are “hitters”

bouncy balls are reusable bombs

sticks are machine guns

umbrellas are shields

and

swords are made of plastic

where death is only 10 seconds long

and then you come back to life,

where you tell your enemies when a

surprise attack is coming,

where a play house and a

shed makes a fortress

where an army is made of one,

and

sound effects are made on

the spot.

But

eventually they'll forget

that rakes were once deadly

and bouncy balls could kill

that sticks could shoot bullets

and umbrellas once saved

them from harm

and plastic could make a

sword.

Because death is for

eternity

a told on surprise attack would fail

a play house and a shed do not a

fortress make

and an army of one wouldn't last

very long

because the sounds are louder

than they can imagine.

Because real life isn't a fantasy.
