What demon raises up the past
to live again as if alive
and turn the dawn of brand new days
into the setting sun?

I’m angry now and yet I see
‘tis just a smile the past displays
like the winner at a card game
smug and satisfied.

And so in the times of being still
I shuffle, deal, shuffle, deal
and play the game alone to be
finally the victor.

But pointless, useless, so in vain
for only death can clear the mind
so take the pot, oh, smiling past
and revel in your evilness.

And when I die so too will you
so what’s this game we’re playing
that leaves the victor/loser
as if they never were?

The answer’s simple, don’t you know
every day’s the first of April!

Helen / 1 April 2012.

Indeed? Our mind plays the trick. Again and again.

I much enjoyed your cute handling and "shuffling" of the theme, dear Helen.

Me too, on this first April dawn, was confronted with a dream set in the past ... I relate! Let's watch out!

Love,
Margherita

A mighty trick has been played on mankind for the most part, Helen, and the older I get the more I am able to understand it. Enjoyed this bitter/sweet poem.

Thank you, Margherita, and yes I agree.  We had better watch out!  Dreams can sometimes seem to be more real than is for our own good.

Hi Jerry.  If you really want to know just how much we are and have been deceived then look up Amazing Discoveries on the net.  There is a whole series of dvd's by Prof. Walter Veith called Total Onslaught.  Quite heavy going but one really needs to start at the beginning and stick with it.  Truly amazing!

Thank you, ice.  I really do appreciate a read from you - and that's no April Fool's joke.

Helen
