Shakespeare you damn fool! Look what thou hath done; Thou hath dramatized An already idealistic and naive Ill-advised society!
Yes; of course I speaketh of me!
O, thine fascist eye is fair To lie ahead with not a care Another path to a dead end Investing what thou cannot spend
O Poetry!
Hath thou led me forth Unto this piteous era As where my expressions Falleth puerilely Amidst my tired art?
Unseen my mind's Too shallow depths Seek mere skin-deep And pockets full For my 'Prince Charming'
Thou a martyr, yet a tool!
O, how alarming!
Yet writ in stride Youth’s suicide Romanticized Lest unforeseen Teen’s dying scene Could seem to be
....'Such a tragedy'
Alas!
Thou playeth worlds Compelled to act With less of tact One might react Should stellar dates Or sell out fates Soon turn their rage And take the page
O, Damn!
I meant stage!
Alas!
O, the power of an idea!
O, the power of words!
O! What the hell is my next line?
{{{A collage of shadows!}}}
Ah...yes
A collage of shadows Pieced of mind From falling blind Grave autumn's shade As rhymes just sort of um... ...fade
Drowning the endlessness Of night Into a vast, twisted ocean
Alas!
Regarding not amidst thine goal The fragile state of my fair soul Whence thou had cast A breath of joy Unto my sorrowed Poetry Had cleared a spot For love divine To smudge upon my dignity!
'Why, i' faith; Methinks she's too low For a high praise, Too ill for a fair praise And too little For a great praise'
Shakespeare, you damn fool!
That Stupid Cupid findeth me!
~ END SCENE ~
If our falling along, Is what finds us coming to Amidst the stillness and beauty Of our all but silent minds?
