Array ( [sid] => 63202 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Free Verse 1- Inquisitive [time] => 2004-09-09 23:12:19 [hometext] => To be happy is to be deceived...? [bodytext] => Wise old souls
envy
the
youths naïveté?
why?
Controlled by society's trends
Mislead by knowledge
How?
Retentive memory
forgetful procrastination
odd?
Evil verse Good
Benedicts or hypocrites?
morals over all
morals oh so wrong..
Life from beginning to end.
Faith forever
Thoughts to think.
Words to speak.
unconditional love
bound in the heart?
death is destiny
so live
for the morrow
the moment might deceive
(possibly only for the naïve)
so unweave your heart
bereave your mind
of the once token sayings
or conception's fine line
purge you thoughts
of the depressing contemplations
For random they are
Their meaning is not worth the disposition.
To paraphrase the poem’s tone-
The lesser intellects shall have more fun…
Why?
Because understanding is responsibility
To point out the idle hour's pit falls
But let it be
For to be happy is to be
Deceived…
(why?)

man, that poem makes me wanna go kill myself or something... it's depressing and true. people who dont think are so lucky because they don't have to feel these emotions that drive me insane. they're kind of scary, and people who dont feel this fear are lucky. so sometimes i envy them too. now my brain hurts from so much poetry. i've been commenting and writing all night... love yah!-your wife 4ever
