A view well worth seeing
Posted: August 7th, 2011, 7:29 am
Seemingly at the end of a life held so dear
A view well worth seeing ever so clear
Feeling so more alive when death is near
Stand up to cheer or lay down and moan
What cannot be allowed and what we condone
Places and seasons allow different views
Providing poor poets an occasional muse
Flowing around any well worded ruse
In how many ways have we heard the same lies ?
Befuddled, bemused, the wool pulled over our eyes
All the while casting gloom and chilling warm bliss
A hard way to go from the lives we’ll surely miss
All together now we shouldn’t have to stand for this
Most of us by now should know what we lack
Surely most of us are enough to take it all back
A view well worth seeing ever so clear
Feeling so more alive when death is near
Stand up to cheer or lay down and moan
What cannot be allowed and what we condone
Places and seasons allow different views
Providing poor poets an occasional muse
Flowing around any well worded ruse
In how many ways have we heard the same lies ?
Befuddled, bemused, the wool pulled over our eyes
All the while casting gloom and chilling warm bliss
A hard way to go from the lives we’ll surely miss
All together now we shouldn’t have to stand for this
Most of us by now should know what we lack
Surely most of us are enough to take it all back
