tim's Bits and Pieces - 41. At First; After Consideration; The Truth

Just working through some things.

At First

 

When you’re as broken as I seem to be

What do you do?

How to fix me?

Should I take a survey of all that I know?

Read about ego?

Learn about control?

Should I sit and pray to an unknown god?

Talk to the shrink?

Keep a record?

Usually to myself I am unkind, not so some say

I am really that bad?

Cruel and callous are the words which repeat

Nasty and cold; but I wasn’t aware

I am not worthy

Should I just disappear?

 

 

After Consideration

 

I think about what you have said to me

Maybe I shouldn’t be this way or that

As you ride your white horse of righteousness

Telling us how to feel, and what to think

Badgering us with your own agenda

While telling me I am causing you pain

Perhaps you should keep your words to yourself

And repair the cracked mirror of your life

Before taking a cruel hammer to mine.

 

The Truth

 

Once it was words, were important

How things felt, look and what’s real

Today it’s being loud, rude and brash

That seems to attract; make people feel

 

But it’s true, it’s the ugly we recall

That is what the verbose and loathsome are

Their bragging and constant need for attention

Written over and over again on a star

 

It’s a star though, with no substance

And sooner than later its shine will wear

Leaving behind its exposed truth

Its fallaciousness will discordantly glare

 

And the meek will then inherit

Their pure truth will win out and shine

Bullies and braggarts will sink in their mire

Then destiny and stars once more will align

****

Thanks for reading.
