[Newspoetry] Book of Life and its Movie

[John]

pro-life

I used to be pro-life
back when it was a magazine.
I thank Milton Bradley
for the game, it was fun.
But Hollywood has taken
the trend a little far.

It is a wonderful life,
even if it's a bug's life.
But only the great python knows
the meaning of the life of Brian,
and you will likely need
to attend
the school of life
to understand the secret life
of words (or walter mitty).

Just try
defending
your unfinished life,
and you'll discover
life stinks.

Sure, you can put
your life on a stick,
your life, or something like it.

As you can see,
someone must
bring this trend to an end,
terminate it prematurely,
stop it's progression,
or at least,
interfere with its development.
