Duplicity

As I lay on sodden ground Silence reigns, There lays no sound. I feel no pains I have no displeasure My heart interlocked by chains. I feel great and euphoric leisure I am in control I’m proud to say Nothing can stop this pleasure. I am feeling no guilt and no sorrows Am I kidding myself to the actual truth? Because even small ants cast long shadows. I have passed the fountain of youth I also been removed from past glory Nothing is equable and nothing is smooth. In truth this is not all my story It belongs to another sod like me We’re are not hunky dory. One side of me is totally free The other confused and fouled up Both in me yet they never agree. I can feel them but never see them close-up Yet even small ants cast long shadows So do I and I am going to shut up.

I was hoping to make a better presentation, but the Twitter world seems to have one eye on me at present so here we go. "Tweets away", best of luck.

A great poem you have here. I really enjoyed the read, especially with that most amusing ending. Congrats on the equal second place. I'm going to work on my Twitter profile this week, with a view to tweeting links on about the 1st of March. Will let you know.
