I Started a Joke - POTD
POTD 21 November 2017 So professional in his lies - So ruthless in his ambition Feeding lies to the simple folk - convincing in his deception Telling them they live on toxic farm land - succeeds in striking fear Cutting ties they sob in sorrow - selling up farmland they hold dear His visions now come to fruition he's the land owner for miles around Success surpasses his wildest dreams and exuberance exceeds all bounds Amazed at peoples gullibility of seeing things in black and white To his personal sins of omission he’s dispassionate in his sight An affluent developer now more ill-gotten gains then he’s ever dreamed Blinded to his own appalling self-deception - so steeped in what he’s schemed No compunction or scruples - not one bit - despair and heartbreak left in his wake Let the ignorant be blissfully blind in their slumber - best not to awake In his haste to erect complexes cheap materials he substitutes Waterways became fast dumping grounds which he so stealthily pollutes Disregard of public health - quick profits so enticing within his reach Indifferent to the major far reaching consequences of his breach For many long years living the shallow life of Carpe diem excites Till one day to the bafflement of all sickness in the town strikes The most vulnerable of them the children the first to get ill Professionals get summoned and asked the causes and will it kill? He looks to the skies, resolve of the issue seeks heavenly help. But the lie that he has so blatantly spread has manifested itself The toxicity is in the water - results of the tests come back to haunt Karma has a way of working in circles and returning to taunt Overnight he is a ruined man worried people flee in droves Bad news has a way of travelling fast as awareness grows At his shame people scornfully laugh no matter where he goes Looking to the Universe - in desperation he implores It speaks to him in soulful whispers to make Right a Wrong Enthusiasm at first to do so dies before too long To go out in all humbleness and preach elicits doubt Tortured fears of inadequacy germinate and sprout His own fears his incompetence returns in falling tears A difference he could make by standing up to his fears Baring his soul can he reveal the folly of his life? But his courage deserts him - as for resolve - it takes flight Past youthful dreams and hopes like recurring tunes maddeningly play Lies of yesterday ricochet - becoming his life’s regret today Magnitude of taking innocent lives is now his daily burden Now he faces his ultimate challenge before the final curtain One last thing before he dies perhaps a truthful book he will write Of his mistakes accept blame and confess to show he is contrite Perhaps through his repentance consolation to his soul will give Deaths parting gift to humanity be absolved as they live and forgive Synopsis of Song ‘I Started A Joke’: Written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb the song is supposedly about someone who has done or said something horribly wrong, which results in feelings of social alienation. Robin Gibb talked in 2009 about "I Started a Joke". The listeners have to interpret it themselves, trying to explain it would detract from the song" The hauntingly beautiful melody brings the ballad up to one of the top 2 or 3 songs that the Bee Gees have ever written. Above example for ‘I Started a Joke Contest’ POTD 21 November 2017
