Deceived



The shelves are as fools as my thoughts are troubled.
I return to home, feeling that disturbed
passions against other’s odd presence; coming
again into my life writing about nonsense.

The second act is my bed, few magazines,
money trash, a cup of tea, consolation
for my dense unappreciated reason; vague
nightmare I’ll had once I get asleep tonight.

Third Act. Is tomorrow, new dawn, my canvas,
a great opportunity to overcome
myself and others, the total suppression
of any victim crown that could interfere
the peaceful landscape besieged for us.

    Glad of the third act. Seeing the new dawn as your canvass to paint whatever you desire...

      thank you, the title deceived means that the appearance of things can’t undermine your true value, that’s the message on the last stanza. Cheers.
