The people looking on felt displaced
For they saw people enslaved by their boxes
In the land of Sell Up Your Space

For they too used to live in their boxes
Back when the cold winds used to blow
But one day they thought outside of their boxes
They stopped believing everything they were told

And outside was a marvelous mystery
There was much that they couldn’t explain
But the warmth from the sun made them happy
Along with the sweet summer rain

Because you can’t see the world when you’re boxed in
And you can’t love for what love truly should be
When your life is dictated by boxes
And your concerns are, how big is the screen?

Outside of the Box

And there was this land called Reach Out Your Hand
The people looking on felt displaced
For they saw people enslaved by their boxes
In the land of Sell Up Your Space

For they too used to live in their boxes
Back when the cold winds used to blow
But one day they thought outside of their boxes
They stopped believing everything they were told

And outside was a marvelous mystery
There was much that they couldn’t explain
But the warmth from the sun made them happy
Along with the sweet summer rain

Because you can’t see the world when you’re boxed in
And you can’t love for what love truly should be
When your life is dictated by boxes
And your concerns are, how big is the screen?

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
