The Irony
The world roars wild wails of displeasure
Of contempt, of dissolution
Of amendment, of all and all
Yet one another we Jealous
And you I think I am
Profoundly ignorant of the heat
Carrying your Shoe is.
How amusing and insanely pathetic
But may, you also crave same thought
Wishing you be me or him or her
Or them but yourself
Never mindful or say Less thoughtful
Of mine, his, her or their hidden damness
Another insanely pathetic amusement
But, ever asked your pillow?
If all ate one food, all loved one color (All, in one taste)
All wore one fabric, all endured one occupation (All, in one way)
All loved one woman, all submitted to one man (All, caught in one web)
Where would the joy of difference and indifference lie?
Who would carry the excitement of exploration?
And bid the hunger for Adventure?
Who would smile to the diversity of nature
And cry to the intensity of pain?
Who would conceit in admiral admiration
Of the supremacy of our creator?
Who would even call you beauty and him handsome?
Or never know you that these compliments are lives in disguise?
See? We all and all we wish of another
Are but seem vain unconscious desires of lost hands
For by reason nature has called you Blue
And him Red and me Green
That by aggregation our offspring
Shall sprout out in abundance
Of our outstanding uniqueness
And all praise our creator be.
So, why the why him and not me illusion?
Hmm,
The world roars wild wails of displeasure
Of contempt, of dissolution
Of amendment, of all and all
And the Irony continues to build strong.
