Visions and Wonders

Your laughter’s echoes are like a broken record in my hysterical brain I misplaced my journey-like notebook, written in pen and pencil prudently and sincerely Solace sunrays are embedded in your blue-green eyes and it’s driving me insane Change is a challenging chore, but as someone once told me, “No one ever stops progressing, but it’s your job to improve frankly!” Confined to this Depression wars, I feel like I’m frozen forever in his ribcage Don’t accuse me for committing atrocious felonies – my intentions don’t lean on greed I love God’s Wonderful deeds indeed! I loathe this fast-paced world, especially in this day of age, sponging up avarice and rage Be careful what you watch, say, touch, hear, and taste – nourish your family seed Visions of unforeseen, unforced miracles is a memory I hold dear honestly I recall years spent on pondering about the tragedy in this fast-paced world and its many crimes You scan my verses as if it’s a short story, catching your sheer curiosity You have read me several times like a children’s book with silly Mother Goose Rhymes I resemble shrouds of misfortune for cat’s sake...Now, am I worthy to be compared to a children’s tale? Am I the cause of the world’s calamity? The dusk has dawned upon me…unearth the mysteries in the hollow, tacky atmosphere Man’s plans were destined to be a fail from the beginning of time – why’s my heart thumping with pride and vanity? Why should I rely on Man when I have God by my side? He’s the one and only that makes me have tears of hope, not frantic fear! I’ve seen his wonders, so imperishable! I’m a witness to God’s phenomenal, faultless Work! Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror? Let’s face it – we’re all playing roles in this world’s tragedy! Why are you throwing the blame on me? You resemble an irrational jerk! I can’t bear being that individual who speaks his mind deliberately – I’m not acting immature! Straighten up your mind; stop acting so silly! ~!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@!~ Inspired by Jake Ponce’s poem: Ephemeral and the verse (entitled: The Key To My Heart) written by Jan Allison! Check both poems out and you’ll be amazed and it feels as if you’re placed in their shoes. It’s remarkable. Do look them up and read their works. You won’t regret it. ^Written by David William Breidenthal^ ***Date this was written: Thursday, May 29, 2014***
