An Ironic Contradiction

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

An ironic contradiction as amusing as the prison of the mind, It offers freedom to all confined As foolish as a master, His genius is only surpassed by the thoughts and laughter in his mind Front of the line, I’m at the back of the queue Seeking only the things, that in time will come to be true If life is a game, then man is the player God, is unholy insane human slayer On a dark, dark day when all is the light, It’s meaningless to think your right Belief is an illusion of the mind Blind is all it has to say Nothing’s worse, than when your soul delight Comes crashing down, slowly softly it’s cushioned To suffocate you, deprivation of air Reminiscent of where, the fish like to swim Don’t fight against it, just fight to give in Don’t swim through, when the river’s within The river within’, the air without, self controlled Suicide, deprivation, self en-fuelled suffocation Written December 13th, 2001 © on Feb 26 2002 01:42 AM PST   10 • 0
