A Poem by John Demerjian -


UNDERWAY
It is forward momentum into Time.
Don't you wonder what we'll find?
For all my life I've heard commands
What to be, how to be, and when to act.
Excuse me, while I etch this imaginary line.
I'll scratch it in the mirror with these words,
And then dare you to take the challenge.
Go ahead. Step over the line with me.
Dare you to look deep and deeper.
Look into your soul, America,
And let me know if the fire below the embers still burns.

Doctors tell us that it is Age itself that infects.
It sets us on this collision course with Destiny
Where death is part of life, and all the equations must balance.
All the formulas must reach equalibrium.
It is the crossroads where experience and wisdom define,
Where the curious fabrication of facts divides us into different camps.
What is it this year, America?
Another war to teach our children that took us 40 years to define?
Take the challenge and explore the Summer of 2005.
Open the door, and let's see where we're at.
Underway is a concept and far from the journey.

Explore it, and cross the line.
Don't you wonder what you'll find.

Note: Let's take a look at America and see what really has priority with everyone... The goal is to send CARE packages to the kids doing duty in Iraq. Remember that I am only the messenger.
