“lets go and be serious”?

“lets go and be serious”?

A Poem by Huw

Those that pursue fun

will never quite apprehend it.

Fun is always on the horizon

the closer you seem to get 

the more frustrating the pursuit.


Those that believe the lie

“as long as you’re enjoying

yourself that’s all that matters”

will at some point find themselves

crestfallen, confused and bitter.


The pursuit of fun

will become your master

an infamous task master

stealing your time and your money

instilling a fear that you’ll miss something.


Fun seems to fulfil

but it leaves us wanting more

The man said, “the eyes

are not satisfied with seeing

nor the ears with hearing”.


I’m sick and tired 

of so called fun and the social

pretence of enjoyment

why don’t I get an 

invite to be serious?

Has anyone ever said,

“lets go and be serious”?

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
