Song.

the world sings a song

sweet and long

only the sound seems true.

the few who hear it-

most fall off a turret

oh, why must one of the exceptions be you?

the song carries on

hopeful and strong

maddening and deceptive, rosy type hue . .

yet we all just march to noon

while singing this tune

the liar, the wistful, and you.

Author's Note

Pardon the nonsense.

Nonsense is always welcome here. I don't even think this fully deserves to be called nonsense, not completely at least. It did have an element of silliness to it, but it also rang very true to reality. "the world sings a song/ sweet and long/ only the sounds seems true." That's just a really great collection of lines right there.
