SKETCHING DISBELIEF

Folder: 
JOURNAL #20

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.............
