Rotten thoughts inside me have remained
throughout my life, especially when influenced
by the persistent pest of doubt; but, these
thoughts guide me precipitously yet
remove them all, I cannot nor should I actually
when as I reflect upon them, they have
formed my foundation and my sight
through which I see the mockery of life
and the disdain we have for each other;
shaved and old I am but those who remember
still want to see the shadow as this is how
their frozen minds relate to time’s passing
and to the passing of all that we once were,
never knowing or understanding that we
fade while always remaining who we are;
and if we knew, then too, I suppose; but,
our youthful arrogance guided us and it is
to that distant past, we now want to go.
