the truth

 

 image

die, my silly soul

what are you waiting for

everyone leaves

everone abandons

you're just not good enough

you ride on what you conceive

~

and so i will

i'll die another day

but still breathe to stay

fountain of youth?

we all thought that so

where are we now?

where did the time go

~

you want fancy metaphorical

i could give that to you

talk about mists and butterflies

reflections in ponds

and mirrors with both sides

a lake and it's ripples

finding solace underneath cripples

~

oh yeah...it's all there

can change it like underwear

but what about the plain and simple

little boys dirty faces

 and funny little dimples

the plastic pool in trailer park yards

grandma and her wings

sloppy xmas packages and all their crimples

~

so....sit by your state and figure it all out

i absolutely refuse to spell it all out

why is it us thinkers, philosopers and poets

have to bring the truth to the ..i just don't fucking know it?

~

well...time has told the tale...as much as we speak

it is to little avail

you've all got dog eyes

deaf, dumb and blind

and if you're not

you're not speaking...so...

what's the difference

to mankind?

~

you're sitting therer in your British Properties

back walls of glass, pool...and all at ease

calculate your own

with your jaded heart

but if it's not

it's not to late to depart.

~

    What a heartfelt poem. There is so much being said within this poem. I feel tension, remorse and ticked offness too. It seems as if not everyone can connect and understand what lies deep within us. To feel abandoned ...a lonely feeling,,,therefore, we should not abandon ourself either for then we are like the ones we despise. Our happiness does not depend upon others, although others make our life more worth living it seems. As you said, we thought we would live forever, what happened to all the time. Life seems like a dirty trick at times, but we must play the game and WIN. So let's have some more eggnogg and holiday cheer. MERRY CHRISTMAS
