Frivolities



They feel they know themselves ,
nobody knows better they think.
They think they are well aware ,
No one understands,
That’s what they feel.

A petit Crescendo and decrescendo,
They’ve emerged ,
And now they feel  enlarged,
They are well aware it’s a mirage,
But  their eyes are clouded by that little blizzard.

They know they know nothing,
But they have transcended into a realm of  lies that have now manifested into truths,
They are of the opinion that they are well aware of the meaning of life and how to go around it.

But delve deeper and see the emptiness of the speech,
And supposed open mindedness even when the world they live in is a sorry and sad in the box environment,
They talk about making change all day,
And are unable to see the vanity in these manifested truths.

They are well aware that either  a thin line or an ocean of emptiness always run through their thoughts everyday,
At such young ages they feel that a simple writing with “big words”  can bring a change,
Foolish we are ,
We have established our thoughts on written movies and on sung and unsung heroes,
But they have not open their door to reality,
We have not for a split second  entered the void and realized that we are unaware of the little things that cannot be changed ,
Unaware of the big things that cannot be broken down.
But they do not see that there is to too much change to be made for a change at all,
It has gone to far south for the reigns to be  gripped and turned around again.
