The Sophist

Sheep are brainwashed fools
Blind to truth within the truth
Put jade coloured glasses on
Undistort the view

Saw it in your neighbourhood?
Call in to the news
Heard your neighbours arguing?
Call in for the troops

Acting as we're wise and old
Ladies on the stoop
Nag and nag and nag some more
Until all is good

Sheep are awful neighbours
Imagine if you would
To baa and baa and then
Be still misunderstood

I awake
Still tired
Drained by hollow ambition
Of late I'm uninspired
I seek transition
Longing to create
To be great
But instead
I wait for tomorrow 
But it never comes
So I follow tradition
With a bitter admiration
I take comfort sharing
Giving, caring
For those who just take
To let them feel great
I carry this weight
In my thoughts
And my dreams
Until I awake

It hits me like Nostalgia
That I cant recreate 
The times we had
The way I felt
A sense of belonging, of purpose
I believed in a prosporous future

It's now I realise
The things we did
The times we shared
How I felt
Came from how you made me feel
That's what I remember
It's you that I miss

I never took the time to see
What couldn't be seen with just the eye
And now in vein I search to find
A second chance to say goodbye

Time stalls to leisure,
Confessor endeavored professor,
Tribe withdrawals.

Possessor mind primal,
With Fentanyl,
Addiction prideful,
Cites exciting asides.
Skies rifled,
Cities get an eyeful.

Day dream
Visions 

Love goes
Chaos

Happy
Today

Quiet relationship, then gating,
College failed in relation.
Poems tight, metaphorical like,
Similarly quiet, gait penned.

Scholarship not pellet feed,
Lettuce where the fences meet,
Where the parents meet,
And fight over simple weeds,
Lifestyle and personality like.

She lives for tomorrow, folding;
Sight static, fight fantastic.
Not matters you, me, or belief,
Our forevers spent grieving,
but of a might, life traveled.
Snapping, chatting of pictures,
Scared of the aperture, focus,
Not the fools and hocus pocus.

Yang sits riverside singing,
What a life quaint, dyed.
Painting faint inner lies,
Things remissed never vied,
Another sister left behind,
Another brother lost to time,
Benefactor earth,
Loss to files, binaries,
Tyrannies, buying, surprises.
Redacted is worth,
Prose, everything vibrant.
Observers know of likeness,
Sequel to the Mona Lisa,
Pious only to feeling.
