A Faded Dream From Yesterday

Yesterday was only a dream

A reality of today

Though nothing is as it should be

Yesterday was only a dream

Love is of not as it would seem

When your affection fades away

Yesterday was only a dream

A reality of today

Circumspect

Oh, burdened are the excess of humanities woes

from corner to corner,

foolish cries are caught

their expectations inject most fervently

away from all the world

never again to believe a word from lying lips that preach too much

from now until eternity,

weary are actions of this cautious mind

I am the fool

TOO CURIOUS

Edward J. Goodman. Too Curious. London; Guildford: Bentley & Son, 1888 — Source.


Have I lost myself?

LIE AND WAIT

Perception,

            a one-sided observation where notice is taken

                        yet this audience remains unnoticed 

It’s passable, 

            not as if you cannot comprehend

                        – choices made to believe certain irrelevance 

Information simply to meet the standard

Intelligence is irrelevant

            when evolution missed its mark 

The look of a normal person

            with an unaccountable intellect

Not dumb,

            – merely insensible, 

                        as if the intentions of the universe artlessly left it out

Once immovable at a certain age

            entrapment forms an imbecile who is incompetent 

Abandoned –

            surrounded by repugnant narcissism
