Musing in the Morning
By Don Iannone

Muse on a lazy Saturday morning about...
higher states of consciousness,
and why we're afraid of heights,
Absolute freedom,
and what we'd do with our lives
if we broke the handcuffs of time,
The afterlife,
and knowing about it...
without ever having to go there,
Shakespeare as our next President,
and how sonnets replace bills in Congress,
A lullaby you remember,
softly sung to you by momma at bedtime,
Rap music,
and why people cover their fear with anger,
Terrorists killing innocent people
on a train in Madrid,
just because of some idea in their heads,
Muse in the morning,
Unleash your imagination on the world
with the break of dawn.
