How
Hollow and desolate
Rings
The
Fathomless abyss
Of
The unfulfilled
Soul..
A
Lifetime
Spent scaling
A ladder
Placed upon
The
Wrong wall...
Looked
To
Authority
With
No heart
To see
Acquiescing
Blindly
To
Misguided values
Drawn to
Illusory rewards
And
One day
Was
Torn
From a
Delusional slumber
Wondering
How
I
Could be
So utterly
Lost
Dream
Another dream?
Dare thou
Set sail
Newly
With
Such scant
Time
Remaining?
Do you
Really believe
Your vessel
Worthy?
Or
Might well
It be
Dashed
Upon the
Rocks
And
Forever lost
In the
Sea
Of
Faceless losses
and
Torrents of grief?
Will you
Listen
Now?
NO...
Really listen!!
Whom
Will you
Recognize
As
The guiding light?
Upon what
Authority
And
From whom
Shall you
Seek?
Listen deeply
And
Choose wisely
Longevity
Might well
Be distinctly
Unaffected...
However
"Quality of life"
Might just
Depend
On it!
