Frustration Of Certitude

Certainty has very little patience;
in hesitance’s warm embrace;
there’s little time for reticence;
as tyranny stares in your face.

Frustration’s found at its height;
as much of majority is wrong;
mediocrity’s seldom found right;
and majority just goes along.

Great comfort is oft acquired;
even

God's Disappointment

Thinking back throughout my years;
reminiscing about all that has been;
assessing all of my laughter and tears;
I wish I could do it over again.

Surely, it seems, I could have done better;
so very many mistakes that I’ve made;
I wear my past, like an undersized sweater;

Broken Ties

Thin is the thread of trust;
so very easily broken;
break it, if you must;
friendship is merely token.

Promises are love contracted;
originally sealed with a kiss;
soon after; all of it’s redacted;
leaving a love you’ll miss.

Promises are commonly made;

It’s a form of strength; quite unique;
generated by decree.

is severely limited in power;
when he’s weak; he’s more than man;
and his strength is a

The Pandemic

A terrible plague spread worldwide;
casting it’s reign of terror;
all logic, has been cast aside;
except by those who care.

and Evil is its name;
reality’s become redefined;
Evil deserves the blame.

Evil does more than steal and kill;
he

Perspective

We can’t see the forests for the trees;
doesn’t mean our vision’s defective;
nor, can we; while seeing our knees;
for it’s all a matter of perspective.

Our physical body depends upon eyes;
but the eyes actually “see” nothing;
they take in light; but don’t
