"The Night"

Songbirds speaking,

People sleeping.

Raccoon hunting,

People grunting.

All is calm,

All is night.

Suddenly,

The sun is so bright,

Good-bye night.

The people awaken

The smells from baking

Touch my nose,

The nighttime animals

Prepare for bed,

The little birds

Lay down their heads.

People speaking,

Songbirds sleeping.

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
