Wonder?

I wonder how it feels to be a movie star?
Being recognized at every club, even at a corner bar.
Where every word you say has power and even seems to rhythm.
Unlike the life I lead everyday, which I feel is barely worth a dime.
Just trying to find a simple job, and wondering if my life will go very far.
I wonder what it must be like to be rich?
Walking around town without a care, having money to satisfy any spending itch.
Being able to look at anything and simply buy it.
Spending that much I’m sure any wife would throw a fit.
Dropping a hundred dollar bill is as common as a man with a nervous twitch.
I wonder what it must be like to be handsome?
Giving a flash of a smile, holding every woman’s heart for ransom.
Every word spoken is a word of flattery given to you.
However, a hint of deceitfulness lies in the middle of their sentences, and the air of conversation lies in not being true.
I sit and wonder hour upon hour, how it must feel to have power?
Why everyone admires a man who makes choices for the world’s greatest power?
My thoughts flee from me and I suddenly realize that I am leading every life but mine.
I feel stupid, wondering why I have dreamed of sitting with them, drinking from their wine.
This thought lingers over me like a dark shadow, but then my mind begins to open like a new flower.
My thoughts turn inward, as I search my heart.
I search every part and only find blunder after blunder.
I don’t know how to become the man I dream of.
So I begin to reach for the stars, and maybe a little above.
I begin to ponder as I recline, I close my eyes and being to wonder.

| very well written poem. Everyone has always wondered and pondered these things and yet even when there is little money the heart holds something more dear and even better. |
