Commonplace

Why can’t it be helped?
Why can’t I cry over spilt milk?
Why must it come down?
What happens at the end of the day?

I don’t know what you mean.
I don’t believe you,
Lets wait for the wind to change,
And then we shall see.

Who’s eye will I have out?
And how? It’s made of foam.
Where is the truth going out?
And what community does a pillar support?

How does it benefit God?
Touch plastic veneer,
While effecting a sneer,
And live by the wisdom of fear.

Solipsism saves us from the atavism of the Equalitarian.

I've been questioning similar things... wish I could articulate it as well as you though!

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

LTEvans~
There is much depth to this piece.
You've penned another 'thinker'...I like.
Keep up the great writing.
