Futility

observations

 

Sometimes in a persons span of years

 

HE tries to affect a single soul

 

To lead it to guide it to

 

A better happier place

 

Before that life time ends.

 

Dupe Me not to the lie of  Life

 

Self sabotage has made that enterprise futile

 

Rescue Me from that dirge of Life and Love

 

Knowing that the project was inevitably

 

Doomed from inception

 

HOPE...No longer lure Me like the siren of the ocean

 

No longer promise Me that love abounds

   

End of end I welcome ....YOU...

The end of all hope is the end of life

Ah, Self-Sabotage, that dirty little happiness stealer! Cool poem -- well done.

[An owl on the moon]

Just the singular word is loaded with meaning and power... futility... So often we take on visions and values that are hopeless... even if they seem to be good and true and right... Such words filled with an overwhelming sense of letting go...

Needs more than one reading but, if I understand correctly .. we can't alter when the mould's been set, have to accept the person and pray we're accepted in turn.

We do seem to self-destruct don't we. The next to last line seems a bit odd or out of place to me. Hard to explain. The rest is well done. I see the struggle of the lost soul here.
