They are partial to
using a series of didactic
words, and profound
explanations,
(mostly to conceal their
ignorance.)
and this works well for
them, because the majority
claps, and cheers in mock-
understanding.

(mostly to conceal their
ignorance.)

A Child lays Listening to
The Wives tales of his
Mother, (passed down from
her Mother) and falls asleep
Happily satisfied with the earthly
Wisdom he's been Spoonfed;
(mostly to conceal his ignorance.)
as Father sits awake downstairs
in his creaky rocking chair,
sipping cheap scotch, and talking
to the Dead.

(mostly to cope with That Fear of
Truth singing like a Shadow
In His Head.)

I've met scores of Lovers
who have written loads of
of Beautiful Poetry to one
another,...grand expressions
of Love, Faith and Trust.
(often to conceal their Endless
lust.) and I've smiled (even
laughed) with them,..
complimenting their Art.

(mostly to conceal disgust..
burning in my Lustful Heart.)

An Elderly Man far along
in years sits alone at the park,
smiling at Young Lovers walking
quickly past in near-effeminate
grace. (mostly to conceal the
tears pouring down his secret face.)
then he mutters softly to himself.

("Please Death...take me out of
this Place.)

epilogue
___

I sit here now.. writing my
sad , cynical views.. expressed
haphazardly in odd, didactic
frames...Certain (beyond love,
trust, and faith) that I know
what This Life is...

Mostly to conceal my
Ignorance..and Fear!!

of Hell's Impending
Flames.)
