Senseless

Ecclesiastes 7:7 

Surely oppression destroys a wise man’s reason,
And a bribe debases the heart.

 

Senseless

 

You’ll never know ... a ray of hope

an idle thought ... or a dream caught

It seems so real and has appeal

like fulfillment of a hunger

 

Where is my heart ... that from the start

did not trust ... in deed a must?

Nowhere found without a sound

we know it surely no longer

 

Splashing mind ... not to kind

Confessionary ... illusionary

Far too late now out of date

never growing stronger
