The Rolling Rivers
They told me,
Sometime during your inception
That I was given a gift
Which one-cleverly left unknown
Irritatingly undefined to my conscious presence
Thereafter, the fradulent fragance of a lonely birth
It's meaning haven't convey
yet a semblance of purpose or importance
It leaves me soiled in a state of dispair
Grief, long unforgotten
Bare treasures as long as the sea
I am blinded by fool's gold
Goofy defeat, not seeing anything worth rewarding
Even if I was attuned to the realities of your future
Lawlessness begots lawlessness
In this calamity of a wilderness
Where the brazen animals run free
Keepers of the land must stay stilted
My homely livings leave not much for you to attain
Your life will surround mines
Your future closely second
Mimicking my fallen desires and disastrous truths
and dreams one could only imagine inside one's own head
The cycle is a circle
That goes round and round
Never leaving to go off course
Loyal to the very end
Because it's bounded by the nature of it's genes
Like you are to me
I wait, for when they soon tell me
That your water crashed into the roaring wave of the rolling river
And then you will tell me I told you the truth.
