The Darkness Of Nothingness

To daydream of better i must be a fool How silly of me the once dunce of the school To think that one day that i might be a poet A person well worthy of literary note I am of the World of the small minded men Like scared little puppy locked in the lion's den Trying for to break free of my cocoon of fear The voices of negativity are all i do hear A horrible World to live in today Where the greedy and arrogant have their own way To the autocratic and narcissistic most of our power we do give The people who do not believe on live and let live A World where many grow poorer for every new millionaire Where most of the wealth is controlled by those who do not know how to share In a World where i feel as one of the strange The things that need changing i feel helpless to change Like Autumn leaf in the rapids of the flooded stream Of a better life i no longer do dream I used to wish for what i never could be And only the darkness of nothingness does await me.
