wizard of oz

wizard of oz


it was an odd day in kansas

toto thought so as well

the yellow brick road had lost its shimmer

the sunflower fields were sobbing

the curtain to reality had been drawn shut

a silicon valley appeared 

wickedness and witches littered the landscape

wind and rain muddied the skies

the lone scarecrow was seen trembling in the fields

yet a brain would have given him understanding

in the distance stood an old barn

the clanging sound of rusted metal echoed throughout

a forlorn tin man was unable to escape his rigor

oh, but for a heart he cried

the wizard of oz had cast a shadow over the calm

the sanctity of life was withering away

wheat fields had turned to jungle

humanity now comforted alongside the cowardly lion 


thank you,

joseph pede
