Left Behind
When your
loved ones leave you in a lurch,
And
ignore you as they sit atop their perch,
A stone
over your heart shaped hole you must keep,
And promise
not to sink down nor weep….
For there
is always a reason when you are tossed aside,
Like a
container off the deck, now the waves you must ride,
Mutter
and Shout in pride, but a pale sorrowful tune soon overcomes,
When even
the spirits feel somber, in those dreadful doldrums…
With time,
rationality rules and the blood mist drains,
Overdone
Steaks of Emotional flesh are now charred remains,
From the
pyre, rises a fervent flatulence of acrid remarks,
Which taints
every rancorous rendezvous of the scornful sharks…
It is an
endless and vicious cycle till one of them gives way,
And makes
up with an act of love, brings light to the day,
The other,
relishing kindness and fraught with fences, realizes folly,
And soon
enough, most things are jolly…
A lesson,
time immemorial you must imbibe,
Dutifully
preach to your brethren and children alike,
That endless
fathoms within your soul, you must covet nothing at all,
And only
in sorrowful solitude, your inner peace you will recall …
