The World Has A Soul

The world has a soul To which we pay toll; Shoes have a tongue Suppers get sung Clothes get hung Truth gets wrung Hair has a part Artichokes, a heart Nails have a bed Pins have a head Tape gets fed Thoughts can be wed Money is mint Coins get lent Heaven is sent Minds get bent Flames have fingers Doubts can linger Love be thwarted Actions aborted A writer gets block Dogs can talk Rumors can fly Binds can tie Type can be bold Trust can be sold Businesses fold Victims get rolled Eyes can beg Character gets pegged Love comes in dregs Or on it's last legs We can lose sight We can look a fright Lies can be white Friends can be tight Clothing gets dyed Heat has a bite Luck can be rotten Truth can be cottoned Misdeeds verboten Babies begotten Beams can search A name be besmirched Faces can fall A heart can call A wind can stall A mind be small Tales can be tall Time can crawl A plan hit a wall Belts have eyes Words can tell lies Stories get told Cases grow old Hope lives long- Or gets sold for a song.
