Alexander Beam listened
As his preacher
questioned the congregation
“How is your
life going?”
Drilled the
preacher
Alexander Beam
dreamed
Of a life bound
with ease
“Where is your
life going?”
Continued his preacher
Alexander Beam
envisioned
A life without
cares
“What will you
do about your life?
Inquired his
preacher
Alexander Beam
fantasized
A life of
pleasure
“Good morning,
preacher. That was a fine sermon.”
Alexander Beam
greeted his preacher
Alexander Beam
absentmindedly exited the sanctuary and
Walked into the
street
The speeding
bus provided for Alexander Beam’s desires-
No worries, no
cares, no work
No life.
