The world is a maze
not exactly what at first it seems, but
contradiction concealed in ambush
as terror filled midnight dreams.
hence...
Solitude courts a partner
as vengeance breaks for tea...
Fortitude slips into cowardliness,
and a spring swallows the sea
what is to say
who is to be
if the darkness should beckon the light-
Patience awaits the hurried man
as rushing taunts the oak...
Now and never play together,
but father time finds himself broke.
who is to say
what is to be
if the day should turn into night.
since...
Love is proven to be a fable
derived from drunken games
of warrior’s tales encouraging war
in search of fortune and fame.
because...
The guardian pilfers the city;
the genesis is a fake.
Peace stalks the albatross
giving birth to the wake.
and...
The innocence begs for pardon;
the monsoon drowns in the breeze.
The dragon lives amongst the people,
and the conscience develops a tease.
so...
What you get is not what you see;
the product does not live up to its claim.
A slave to the grind, in no way free-
He was never meant to win, but only to play the
game.
