PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The foolish game

the sitting by the desk

pretending the work matters

and yet

it really is people’s lives

being disfigured in the madness

and yet

I can not bring myself

to take it too seriously

I suppose

I am flawed

in my thinking

on the matter

I can see where

my errors

impact another’s life

but it still seems surreal

and I can’t grasp

exactly how

it came to this

and what the fates

were thinking
