Ivor's Ramblings
Today my friends I’m really pissed
to think of all the times I’ve missed
the chance to find the part of me
that sets my place in history
No fame or fortune would I find
but just connections in my mind
that let me know that I exist
and not the one that history missed.
What purpose in my earthly role
why now does time require my soul,
if actions history rearrange
what is it that I’m meant to change.
What part of me must I employ,
should things I do bring people joy
or am I meant to balance fate
and simply ballast to add weight.
Sometimes I’ve had the chance to play
a part that history may say
has altered pathways of the mind
by writing words of rhyming kind.
Alas unless I’m read by more
I never can be very sure
that poet’s curse set down in rhyme
can justify my given time.
So please help history on its way,
read Ivor’s Ramblings today,
this way I’ll know I’ve played my part
by offering the world my heart.
