Randomnity is not a word

I sponsor a poetry club here at school and my kids were doing kind of a fun activity the other day. They took seven words and tried to use all of them in a poem. There are no parameters other than the fact that you have to use them all...I thought that might be fun to do here.

The words are: real, life, myth, reflection, precise, mountain, wrath

Give it a try and post your poem.

Its here again, this real life myth
traveling around again making no sense
What is this real life?
Where does it exist?
It is on the streets?
Is it in my heart?

What is this real life?
Is it the precise reflection of my soul's inflection
made up in garish garb and fetish wear
made up to look like some real life fake produced un-reality show?
No.
My real life myth exists for me.
So spare me the wrath from the mountaintop
Save your hellfire and brimstone.
I don't know much about real life
But I know life is real.

every myth, a reflection
of the real life concerns
of a people.

what was the precise concern
that made people fear Wrath
in the form of pushing a rock
up a mountain?
