self pity
for the most part
if coached right
can become
quite the bell of the proverbial ball
but only if looked upon
in the correct light of circumstance
where as
sweet impatience itself
as a part
is too often played out
as rather quite small
Pinched and Petty
would be nice
to take lengthy notes on this
as other once so very secret
vulgarities
openly confess their riveting
range of before unmentioned
many misdeeds
why, blind inadvertence
itself has bared uncountable
shards of irritating risk
at the first available opportune
moment
and some actually quite stupidly
believe that this is a gift
amazing
truly appalled
I wearily shake my head
and everyone wonders why the soul
bleeds
due to carelessness and ignorance
it is seriously wounded by immeasurable
degrees
come on
twilight is wasted
stop for just a minute
and calculate in your own
mind if you can
just how long do you think it will take
before we thoroughly manage to appall
God himself
with our hatefully uncouth behavior
what do you want to bet that if the
approaching millennium could
it indeed would have itself
an uproarious good laugh
at our endless cycle of sickening self
abuse
and to think
many actually fear the Y2K problem and
more
when in fact
its thy fellow man's lack of soul
that they should be preparing
themselves for
as all death is imminent.............
