Even Rich People Get Diarrhea

by Anisa Abeytia Yamani - Aquarius


The uncertainty of life
has got me down.

When did I so slavishly
begin to wander down a 
nowhere path?
Did my dreams subside in
my torid past?

Or do they lay dormant out there,
ready to dance a
happy, love-song life
with me?

When will my ups
outnumber my downs?

But introspection will reveal
to the one most eager
to see
the world as it truly exists,
day by day.
And like a good poem,
it progresses letter, by line, by stanza,
but it never gets ahead of itself.

The swaying rustle of leaves
and the fire-heart, passion-love
you feel makes life roll gentle
like frothing sea,
to make you forget
the tsunami bone crushing times.
Because they come to us all.

Remember,
Even rich people get diarrhea.
