Where is the life

Where is the color

Where is the character

How can I write

How can I think

How can I make

Here in this dull room

Here in this dull space

Here in this dull scape

Write words of adventure

Write words of conviction

Write words of value

There is no adventure

There is no conviction

There is no value

Here in this dull room

Here in this dull space

Here in this dull scape

Where is the life

Where is the color

Where is the character

Why it’s in the trees

Why it’s in the streets

Why it’s anywhere but here

Here in this dull room

Here in this dull space

Here in this dull scape

I long for the adventure

I long for the conviction


I long for value
