The Cold Within

PLZZZ VOTE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

THE COLD WITHIN

Six humans trapped by circumstances,

in bleak and bitter cold.

Each one possessed a stick of wood,

or so the story told.

Their dying fire in need of logs,

the first man held his back,

for,of the faces around the fire,

he noticed one man black.

The next man looking across the way,

saw one not of his church,

and couldn't bring himself

to give the fire his stick of birch.

The third one sat in tattered clothes

he gave his coat a hitch.

Why should his log be put to use,

to warm the idle rich?

The rich man just sat back

and thought of the wealth he had in store,

and how to keep what he had earned

from the lazy, shiftless poor.

The black man's face bespoke revenge

as the fire passed from his sight,

for all he saw in his stick of wood,

was a chance to spite the white.

The last man of this forlorn group

did naught except for gain,

giving only to those who gave,

was how he played the game.

Their logs held tight in death's still hand,

was proof of human sin.

They didn't die from the cold without,

they died from the cold within.

"IT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU . . .

IT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH IT."

A POEM

There once was an oyster

Whose story I tell,

Who found that some sand

Had got into his shell.

It was only a grain,

But it gave him great pain.

For oysters have feelings

Although they're so plain.

Now, did he berate

The harsh workings of fate

That had brought him

To such a deplorable state?

Did he curse at the government,

Cry for election,

And claim that the sea should

Have given him protection?

"No," he said to himself

As he lay on a shell,

Since I cannot remove it,

I shall try to improve it.

Now the years have rolled around,

As the years always do,

And he came to his ultimate

Destiny . . . stew.

And the small grain of sand

That had bothered him so

Was a beautiful pearl

All richly aglow.

Now the tale has a moral,

For isn't it grand

What an oyster can do

With a morsel of sand?

What couldn't we do

If we'd only begin

With some of the things

That get under our skin.
