This Life We Lead

THIS LIFE WE LEAD. This life I lead, some say is not that pleasant, And that my ways, are that of a loner, Yet in my world is a place, where their, maddeness is not present, And of My mind, at least I am the owner. Because I do not conform to the ways of society, And my thoughts, differ from theirs, Are they so ignorant, because I choose another variety? Their needs for lies and deception are without end, Of wich I have no need or care, But theirs is relentless, it consumes them, Their will so weak that it bends, Then forever are they condemned. So it is that I choose not to partake of that world, And walk in my own, Where at least truth has meaning, life has reason, And a few might be shown, A place in this world, where honesty is known. Such is the life that I lead, of wich, I am content, And those who don’t no it, I pity their torment. Clement Hardy
