I Am A Mystery Today

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

Some know the answer already.

Saturday, December 6, 2003

 

 I am rich to the extreme,


I can do, whatever I please.


And I have lived a life that


Only some men dream.


I take from the poor


And help my rich friend’s scheme.


I am a modern day Robin Hood,


With one tiny glitch.


 


For I lay not in wait,


From the poor from which I take,


I just storm their door


And take more and more.


 


Untold wealth have I


 and villainous glory is mine.


Someday you will see,


Of that which I partook


Was really a crime,


And if you examined me


You would truly see,


That I am in reality,


a crook.


 


However for now,


We will leave it at that.


For if I were to reveal too much,


I could not continue to grow fat.


Some of you know who I am


For I watch you everyday.


However,  at this time


I will not say,


For I wish to remain


A mystery.

tht is pretty cool Allen, and I think you, but also IN IT, defines adequetly "the mystery". What is equally a mystery of course is onlookers, we constantly defning and redefining all in terms that make the best sense, al
