In God's Land
Greg Monsolino 1968 (NY)
About this poem
I originally wrote this poem as part of a larger work. It was about the confusion that can be created when something one thinks is meant to be cannot be. However, I do feel that this verse works well on its own and truly gets the message across about what we think, how we fill, and what ultimately happens is a paradox called life. However, many have their own interpretations. I welcome yours.
