Returning the Favour |

To return the Favour The mind's a terrible tragic place indeed. In some respects and other realms, my thoughts Can launch attacks upon the very things I dearly hold as mine own sacred self. The world's a stranger place than I'd believe. In all I've been and all I've done, the one I've aim'd to please has been the darkest one Of all, the one I'd call my friend and foe. My self is stranger even than the world. That friend and foe, my mind, my world, my self Has brought me through the deepest ills and pains, Yet fiercely caused some others, all the same. My mind, my self, my world's a darken'd place. My God forgives And I do not. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Thanks, all, for the replies. Glad u liked it. It's my first blank verse poem in a while. Oh, and Stace, it was. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

This has to due with your memetics thing doesn't it? Well I liked this one a lot! The ending was very powerful. I loved it. I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
