The Reasons Why You Came Here

  
  
          Spending so long planning
                                      where you’re standing,
 
          you forget the reasons why it
                                      is you came here;
 
          worse still, infection of the dreaded
                                      earth-sickness
 
          turns your thoughts to all the things
                                      you cannot leave behind:
 
          it’s the money, it’s the show, it’s all
                                      the things you’ve collected
 
          from the corners of your little world
                                      and you can’t let them go.
 
          Yet what is it that you came for?
                                     That something special
 
          you always had to believe in, that
                                      reason it is you came here… 
  
         could you really be so ill you’ve forgotten
                                      the touch of love?
