"Ego is the death of the soul / Arrogance chills hearts numb / In brokenness I am made whole / Though deaf and blind and dumb"

Transcendental Sonnet #1236:

Live Not the Lie As Legends Die

 

for poets who are better than me and know it

 

I am not a living legend

I am a dying fool

But I come to an honest end

And kids say I am cool

 

Ego is the death of the soul

Arrogance chills hearts numb

In brokenness I am made whole

Though deaf and blind and dumb

 

Yet I can hear you clearly

And I do love you dearly

But I can very nearly

See right through you

How about you?

 

Live not the lie as legends die

 

+Steven Curtis Lance

Just gotta be yourself. I love the writes of Andy James Turner, but it don't mean the world does..(but they should)

Excellent write, Steven...though I daresay who is to judge which poets are better than others? :) We each have our own style that touches some as others cannot...I enjoyed this very much

Seems in a manner of speaking we are on the same chapter tonight, maybe a different page though...cool fool and like that...isn't that an oxymoron, LOL! Peace bro', Ed (and thanks for the most gracious review of my recent posting)
