A Look Inward At Darkness In the Mortal Soul

A Look Inward At Darkness In The Mortal Soul Strange now rests overburdened seas and hapless stars Undiscovered jungle villages that think all earth is flat Those that slow walk total blindness but never drank in bars And in the tepid night, those that never hit when at bat Yet Nature marches without clock or a smidgeon of guilt It far flies its soul outward for all mortal men to see In the secret alley truth is stabbed up to the hilt All the while oppressors wage a war against you and me! Strange now rests overburdened seas and hapless stars Those that slow walk total blindness but never drank in bars Yet Nature marches without clock or a smidgeon of guilt In the secret alley truth is stabbed up to the hilt. Undiscovered jungle villages that think all earth is flat And in the tepid night, those that never hit when at bat It far flies its soul outward for all mortal men to see All the while oppressors wage a war against you and me!

AH, I fear that this one just may be too deep. One must remember these younger generations are not very swift on the uptake. Yet, I refuse to do little abc poems to please them. Life is far too short for that methinks.
