The goodness of one Is another one's evil. An unknown fact Left among the pile of ignorance. The likeability task- A menace of its own. None has won it; Though attempted by all. Swim in it deep, Feel yourself drown. Begin to lose yourself in it And suddenly you're no more. This strange game Abides by one rule The harder you try, The worse you'll become Achieved at last! You think to yourself, Time to remove this mask; Suffering for too long. Then realise how wrong you are; There will always be And always will, A dissatisfied eye or two. So tear those masks Just stop trying Be real to yourself And the worthy will follow.
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
