One & The Same – POEM

book world

There was a man

Who lived –

And that was all.

Never left home.

There was another man

Who died.

But more than that

He saw the world.

They were

One and the same.

Because,

He read.

    Cool. This reminds me of the quote by George R.R. Martin: “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”

      Appreciated. The saying “travel broadens the mind” needs to add on …and books.

    Haha. I liked this. I’ve been transported all around the world without leaving my living room. If only I could go back to Italia ’90 when the Irish had a decent football team. Happy days.
