Imagining he holds the world is his hand
But forgets to close the hand that feeds him
Imagining every word is prose not rubbish
Seeing the world through nothing
Sorry for himself
Achieving oblivion
Squandering any gifts
For the tears he shed's too easily
For his dreams that he fear's might happen
Sobbing is his beer
For everyone else's mistakes
His glorious ideas
That might be achieved
He remembers only that others stopped him
Drunk with ideas and failure
He drinks to prove his successes
To blame others
For their honesty
Until maybe he realises
That the problem is his
Not others

Will he be free.

Maybe when he realises that he has no control over his life, he might be free.

Maybe when he has justice, he might be free.

Someday he might be free.

regards

Dave

When all else is lost
A stone, a wall and hopefully
Poetry will be written
