Keep Eyes On The Ball Poem by John Sensele

Keep your eyes on the ball whether turbulence
Shapes your little aeroplane
Sticks in dagger in your back in a fatal dance
When you saunter and strut your stuff in your life's lane.

Keep your eyes on the ball whether a damsel
Dangles a carrot for you to bite
As your eyes in confusion sail
Across curves when her outfit seems too tight.

Keep your eyes on the ball when cash runs out
Hangers evaporate in droves
Love flies away to rout
Your ego as in anger you feel like melting rings on stoves.

Keep your eyes on the ball when in confusion
You abandon your faith
Contemplate dark thoughts through fusion
With fetishism, animism when you visualize an imaginary wraith.
