Imagine the joy these simple bright
glass marbles 
brought to children some hundred years past.
Now almost completely forgotten unless one seems
to appear to have misplaced a few!
Tiny worlds, glass planets,
flicked across a sand 
galaxy by kids across this vastly growing planet.
Click and clack and the penny sack is yours!
"OK guys she can play just this once with us."
Something so benign but
eloquent in its design,
to last forever or until one rolls under the wheel of
that strange moving thing called the automobile!
Was this how our future leaders learned their trade?
Dividing the planet up into
pieces to play with?
Some of the kids were smart enough to know that the
grandest marble was the one they were playing on.
Who is protecting this
most valuable marble from perish?
