Two Beliefs

on the belief that too much sunshine
makes us a desert
we shy away from play

when we were small they showed us Jack
who worked and worked and forgot to play
making him a dull boy

which way: a dull boy in the desert?

oh, these beliefs are mere advices
try thinking on your own
weigh things and
decide on your own

play when the dogs are away
and do not bark on the wrong tree
