William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

Disillusioned Disappointed

Disillusioned / Disappointed

In your desperate attempt to find 
a companion, a man who is of the right kind. 
Possessed with qualities, one of a bright mind 
who can give, who can set your free, with you he will live.

In me, you seem to see the kind of man you want to be 
with - in hours to live, in hours to kill, in hours to see 
life as it is, as it should be, as you want it to be - free 
from all the experiences taking us past the ability to give .

It is not for us, but to understand – not assign blame 
for all that we are – have become in our world of shame 
for all that we do to ourselves, to others in the name 
of survival, self-preservation, in the throes of life’s game. 

So my dear – in this life – we live the best we can give.
