Not True

By coyote

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

So many thoughts have passed this way before, but I have not allowed them to invade my door. So, why do they persist in coming back for more when my mind is closed and I am not receiving. I never meant to sanctify or consecrate the tenets that we worship as an ordained fate, and rituals we practice with unconscious hate. I must digress from a life I'm not believing. We should be forced to notice as so much evidence abounds, our feeble lives are nothing when spread upon the ground. So the larger social conscience should lead us all to frown, for creation of a "new world" is deceiving. Written September 1st, 2000 © on Aug 23 2001 10:30 AM PST   0 • 10
