Little action causes expectations for little action later So sounding fools do charge their words to follow the actions of the acting And in their walking on the line that’s given, they see with just their eyes So just as fools do follow they walk along this line Grudges caused by no mans knowledge and the falling of the wise Bitter words fly like the bullets over sand as children cry While old men ponder how much can be gotten for the blood of the young Such fun yes for all this thought must be done Real life is lived in short days and long moments And so for every day I’ve forgotten I want only to say I loved them What words can be said for such tragedy in lost life But in my future that I’m always going into I’ll continue to wonder how I got here What beauty compares to the opposite sex? No beauty compares to the opposite sex Give and receive the pleasures of the body and the mind To know someone as well as one can is to be happy, love is when they do too Rebellious natures of the childish mind so trivial and fun Excitement of the ones who have opinions of how things should be done Beautiful to see for such passion in life and such belief in all people A person is stable with reason in thought but people are fools if not wise at all I am the two-toed wanderer |

I loved this.. it is the first I have read of your work that is in poem form.. great job.. I love your outlook on life.. it has such a twist to it.. it's a challenge to read and understand.. great job.. ~Heather~  Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. |
