Our self destructing worldly ways,
And unrealistic trusting daze,
As cigarette fire,
Makes funeral pyre,
Turn precious green to smoky haze.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
