A Beautiful Order
by Michael Espinoza
Why speak in prose? Why not in poetry?
Why speak? Why don't we sing the words we say?
Why can't in song our voices always be?
Why walk, instead of dance to rhythm's sway?
Oh, surely song and dance are greater beauty
Than speech and motion to the ears and eyes?
So why do we consider it our duty
To shun these for a more "realistic" guise?
Is not attraction, as we have to food,
A sign that song and dance are far more real?
They both do wonders to improve the mood,
Influencing more strongly how we feel.
Let not the lie (that song and dance are merely
For entertainment) stop us seeing clearly.
