William J. Jr. Atfield Poet Rhyme

This Mans Philosophy a Man Without a Plan

This man’s philosophy
A man without a plan

This man lives for and of the moment,
which leaves nothing tangible but descent
into the words being left on this page.

If he only had the power, courage to be a sage
and against humanities ills, hostilities against, rage.
Not to be, for he is far too wrapped up in the self

leaving nothing to, or for the world, but an elf
to play out his nightmares and his daydreams
to no other soul, just an empty house it seems,

as he walks, slowly onward, to the end of the road
where, in the end - after all is said and done –
life has been lived, with many a joy, and much fun.

This is the time when one can, forever lose the load.
A time – where after all – one and all will take flight
up into that tunnel leading to that glorious light.
