Eviction Day
Location
Our minds have too many tenants.
If we added hinges to our heads
We could evict
Mr. Hate
And those nasty chihuahuas of his,
Prejudice, who likes to bite
And Anger, who barks all night.
We could evict
Old Woman Worry
She can hide in some other attic.
While our minds were empty, we could clean it all up
We could change that flickering lightbulb
For one with steadier resolve.
We could kill off that infestation of greedy termites
And maybe then our minds would be nice enough to attract tenants like...
Mrs. Love
With her pretty doves, singing of Compassion and Fairness
And that old man, Courage, who sallies forth to help on every occasion
What happy homes our minds would be
If we added hinges to our heads.
