A Star Wars Poem
So, for some of us who are raised in a family where Star Wars is the peek of entertainment, we may have gotten a little toe excited about episode seven. As for me and my house, we got a little bit carried away with the anticipation and suspense. I wrote this poem as a reminder to us all. We need to focus on what is really important and not on what is the most "fun". So, I have resolved to redirect my focus and obsessions, and I encourage you to as well, after all, do or do not, there is no try. Anyway, if you enjoy a good Star Wars marathon, you might enjoy this little poem.
...
What now is the default for our conversations
Is a world of great weapons and annihilations
Heroes and villains, guys good and bad
Forgetting the depth of the talks we once had
Now don't get me wrong, I would call me a fan
Of the galaxy far, far away from this land
Of Rey and of Finn and of Starkiller Base
These things are all fun, but a bit out of place
I feel like at times it's a little obsessive
To always be talking of bad guys oppressive
X-Wings and tie fighters clashing in air
Going through life as if we don't care
What happened to days when we'd talk about weather,
Play board games and card games and do things together?
We put up these walls that we call speculation
And close up our hearts to reconciliation
You can't start a fire if you don't gather sticks
It's not gonna work using Jedi mind tricks
We live in a shallow and desolate bog
We're consumed by the shadow of deepening fog
So, like Kylo Ren and Darth Vader too
I'm removing the masks that keep me from you
I'm standing up tall with this new resolution
To take a step back from the fuss and confusion
And make sure the truth of the story's not lost
In the dunes of Jakku or the blizzards on Hoth
I want to be sure that through all celebration
I'm staying on track with my own destination
Who'll care about Star Wars when we get to the Kingdom?
It's not gonna matter if you have not or have seen them!
When we're face to face with the King on His throne,
We can really and truly say: "Chewy, we're home!" ~
