Sorry It's Been A While

Hello there....is there anyone still reading these? Well if you are then welcome back and apologies for my absence, Inspiration has escaped me in the time I have been away. In fact I am only posting this because I felt the need to put finger to keyboard due to my laptop being on and my TV being no help at all in staving off the bedtime boredom, Funnily enough I decided to write a poem highlighting the use of our time on this earth. I am going to drown in my hypocrisy once this is posted but for now enjoy. A word of warning though...its written from the more creative side of my brain and not the satirical one, apologies in advance........ 


Ask Yourself

If I were to have the best of everything,
What would my aspirations be?
If my vision were to reach the furthest places,
What more is there to see?

How can we say we are equal?
When we all are unique from birth.
How can we claim to have fairness?
When good blood is spilled on the earth.

We wonder aimlessly in the darkness,
Using only our senses to seek the truth.
The terrain can be hostile, cold and harsh,
As our experience replaces our youth.

Life’s greatest flaw is also its greatest achievement,
No one being lasts forever.
We make promises we know we cannot keep,
And our always soon turns into never.

It is because we start with nothing,
That makes us crave more.
And yet we end with that same nothing,
But we still spend our lives keeping score.

We do things to prolong the inevitable,
To delay the final breath.
When all we do is worry, stress and think,
Which only aids the touch of Mr. Death.

The journey is different for us all,
But the destination is the same.
We all believed that we won’t be alone,
Right up until that moment no one came.

The great mystery of life,
Is simpler than you would think.
Don’t let time simply pass you by.
Allow every moment in you to sink.

Never be satisfied with what you have,
But always be grateful and content.
For when that final axe of judgement swings.
How will you say your time was spent?


Have a great week everyone and enjoy the bank holiday weekend, thanks for reading...
