Everywhere I Look

Everywhere I Look

A Poem by Neville
"

... Hey, some things just never change, do they ...

"

Everywhere I Look

 

Everywhere I look

I see that same old yellow Ferrari

You know the one that pseudo angel always hides behind…

 

Every page I turn

I read those same old angry lies

You know the ones professing unrequited love and so on….

 

Everywhere I roam

I sense those same old hostile eyes

You know the ones that hide behind so called history

Bah humbug…..

 

Every step I take

I sense increasing anger

Where risk gets closer and more personal with every single stanza……

 

Henceforth then and recorded here for posterity or maybe some other reason

 I feel compelled to shout


"Hey Lazarus" 

 

Let it be known for all eternity 

That your literary resurrection is far from guaranteed......

This one had me laughing. There's plenty of literary mastery out there but the operative term here is "out there". Those who work at their craft and hone their skills are obvious as proof in the pudding. One can't find new things looking in the same spots or to offer a quote often attributed to Einstein, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Change isn't always good but it is always inevitable. The best we can do is study our history and build upon our successes while trying to limit the repetition of our mistakes or the mistakes of others. I thank you for the laugh and I enjoyed the read.
