Armani Armania Poet ABC

Never Fool Yourself

You can fool whomever
For some time.. for ever..
But never, please, never, yourself!

I see those crowds
With walking dead minds
Of people who betrayed themselves..

For honor or profit,
For vanity coffin
They gave up the only they had..

They live in illusions
Prudent, sober, usual,
Believin’ in what can’t understand..

They want live for ages
Because fear death. Just
Remaining in any kind ‘f crap.

What for?? Never ask that
To get soft brain answer
And sunk into the mental swamp..

You must live as the one person you will always live with: yourself - not an organization or group, not the society rule makers, well - you get it. Only real can really grow. I enjoyed this and apologize for over agreeing, I must not have been able to help it! Poetry hugs ... CayCay Armani Armania October 11, 2018 at 8:33 PM I had forgiven myself for allowing the moments of bitterness and despair as a part of living experience. The sense of happiness may shine brighter to the eyes that know the darkness. Yes, I got what your point. Feeling blessed meeting you here and many more real sincere people on my way. Grateful for you attention to my poem(s..), my dear C. Hugs
