What reality

Everyday I wake and find I am closer to the end.
With so much trouble in the world I foolishly pretend
that I can make a difference, change the course of history.
But every night I lay me down with the harsh reality
that tomorrow my life is just one day less and there is nothing I can do.
For I am just one man and no one sees my point of view.

I hear about the ones who in this world can change
how the rest of us go on living, how they can rearrange
the course of our existence with the decisions that they make.
Who are these people who asses our worth and hold our lives at stake?

So many seem to have all the answers and ask us to believe, while they speak in whispers behind closed doors.

One Strong Voice..

Can effect another.. then another, then so forth. Many great ideas and changes stemed from the thoughts of single, brilliant ,minds. I believe our lives can effect and change people for the better.

A thought provoking write.

makewine,

very interesting poem about man’s futility, the ending came to an abrupt conclusion in both the choice of words and the trend of thought on what the ones behind close doors where conspiring ????

It is not the past I seek to change

While some may whisper behind closed doors, the truth lies in silent wait beyond the door death holds open for us all. I have faith that I will follow through the portal as those whom I have loved passed before me. What will be, shall be what was. I seek not to change the course of history, for it follows behind. My future is mine alone. So many only seem to have all the answers. But I have not yet asked all my questions. They ask us to believe and I do. But not always them.
