Your Inner Life

what words do is behave irrational,

deceive the listener to believe a lie

as truth

-----

don't speak, use grunts please point

with your middle finger if that helps

your solution

-----

your inner life is necessary for here you

speak your own language, appalling 

means to accept your regrets for you

-----

are the means to your end, believe me 

the ending is never pretty, don't advocate

for the dreams now evaporating

-----

hidden in the creases of age our words

that cut deep into ordinary days we 

sleep right through,

-----

what is taken is lost, don't mourn the 

destruction of common sense, be a 

predator for your truth no matter

-----

how small you become, hold no view on

your own demand, the constant changes

in your timeless ego we will call you

-----

mr. avarice, be present but not standing

for more than you are worth, this gets a

call from ladies asking for their money back

-----

innocence is not a surrender it is your

awareness that everything is changing

back to a deepening regret for you lifetime

-----

everything returns to their simple word

freedom from the mindful intellect

close the door in its face
