Though the World's EyeA Poem by Bonnie Hines
Trying
to put you in perspective
For all the things that you do For
all the drama in your dancin’ Maybe its God
teaching us some sort of secret lesson Maybe
it’s you trying to stretch patience thin To
see how far you can smash Before you break down into ash again. Why
do we do the things that we do?
Or do we even
know why? It feels good So we try it Following
dogged senses Searching for the newest sensations All
for our pleasure and pain Till we die .Empty. Forgotten. Insane. For
that rush of superiority For
those sensations of being in mad love For the
experience of being in the spotlight For the
pain of the blade against your thigh All for
The single moment of a feeling high. We’d do anything for
the feeling of being alive Through the eye of the world There is surely someone laughing down upon us Watching our every move and futile thoughts As we chase our tails Believing our own mission To be more important than any man’s petition. How pathetic must we be? How Pathetic we must seem © 2011 Bonnie HinesReviews
