A SP Exercise.....Times Three


Gracefully and humbly I tumbled into...


the murky abyss of social acquiesce
and I found myself drowning
A cold, crowded place where truth
or humility obviously do not belong
But my curiosity got the best of me
as I strolled naively along
In the distance were forms of familiarity
voices speaking words I have heard before
Landmarks that I had overlooked before
marked my position
I had no idea what I was headed for
The wind whispering words
that I, in my own cognizance, couldn't grasp
A subtle voice subconsciously spoke,
Don't you worry about what people think
they don't do it very often
If they did they would know of what they speak
I laughed, but I kept walking along the path
I wanted to see what awaited me
I took off my shoes because I was comforted
by the warmth of the midday sun
nothing to fear but fear itself, right?
not knowing my regret had just begun
Another voice, in ancillary tone
asked me where is the paradigm of truth
that you so earnestly seek?
It is not here...
You walk among nugatory negligence
Pompous imposters of purity
so willing to witness to Hell's hellacious fury
There is nothing here 
Go back!
Go back to the safety of simplicity...
the guise of goodness and grace
Do not be fooled by the smiles of smirk on their face
I'm conscious now there is need to be concerned
as I walk to my immediate doom
Deep inside of me I knew....
 
I made another bad decision
