None of These Emotions Would Be Raging

None of these emotions would be raging with fiery eyes and a very fast heartbeat... to unveil this secret that's never been discovered; leading a limited life of pleasures and thrills had a profound effect on me; I felt weird, not belonging in their happy and frantic world, not rebuked by guilt, but reproved for undone wrong: purity is grace guided by love and unless it reaps an abundance of deserved joy, it's not priced by others! Glamor never incited my fantasies and thought of being altruistic, riches are amassed to show pride and by the time your coffin is lowered in your grave... someone is smiling for the inheritance you left; did anyone toss that rose and started to weep and grieve foreseeing gloominess and endless, torpid days... missing evenings playing spades and drinking beers, not realizing that midnight stroke time too fast, detracting hours from gamblers' lives who were not aware of their passing and of the irony they brought! None of these emotions would be raging if taking away their foolish reasoning; whoever is inflamed by an intentional remark has understood that he must show the teeth of a shark! Absolute truth is pulled out of foul mouths when they spit it out unintentionally, they blush and take a step back reproving themselves: ah, foolishness is madness when mindfulness thrives! Look out for the shameless preachers who knock on doors and ask for an alliance to their cause, reading Bible verses to win your credibility!
