Oh Lord, give me a break

Continuous eloquence wearies. Grandeur must be abandoned to be appreciated. Continuity in everything is unpleasant. Cold is agreeable, that we may get warm…Blaise Pascal


Poem Artwork

I’ve spent much of my life living up to expectations
Trying to be articulate, a salesman of persuasion
I try to show dignity and splendor in all that I do
I have tried my best to make a good impression on you and you and you
Sometimes I want to simply jump of this bandwagon I’m on
Forget about good impressions and let appearances be gone
There are times when I grow weary of the same old routine
I want to try something new and see things I’ve not yet seen
I want to let my mind question what this life is all about
It is my desire to explore the unknown and confront my deepest doubts
Let’s try something new… Something I’ve not tried before
For the same old sequence of events just sometimes becomes a tedious bore
So I try something new and reach for the stars and far beyond them
I search for my master, my Lord and worship and praise him
The funny part of this whole high-spirited diversion
Is that it too easily becomes one more source of perversion
And this leaves me…. Where?
