The Irony

The world roars wild wails of displeasure

Of contempt, of dissolution

Of amendment, of all and all

Yet one another we Jealous

And you I think I am

Profoundly ignorant of the heat

Carrying your Shoe is.

How amusing and insanely pathetic

But may, you also crave same thought

Wishing you be me or him or her

Or them but yourself

Never mindful or say Less thoughtful

Of mine, his, her or their hidden damness

Another insanely pathetic amusement

But, ever asked your pillow?

If all ate one food, all loved one color (All, in one taste)

All wore one fabric, all endured one occupation (All, in one way)

All loved one woman, all submitted to one man (All, caught in one web)

Where would the joy of difference and indifference lie?

Who would carry the excitement of exploration?

And bid the hunger for Adventure?

Who would smile to the diversity of nature

And cry to the intensity of pain?

Who would conceit in admiral admiration

Of the supremacy of our creator?

Who would even call you beauty and him handsome?

Or never know you that these compliments are lives in disguise?

See? We all and all we wish of another

Are but seem vain unconscious desires of lost hands

For by reason nature has called you Blue

And him Red and me Green

That by aggregation our offspring

Shall sprout out in abundance

Of our outstanding uniqueness

And all praise our creator be.

So, why the why him and not me illusion?

Hmm,

The world roars wild wails of displeasure

Of contempt, of dissolution

Of amendment, of all and all

And the Irony continues to build strong.
