ZEROING IN ON THE TRUTH: an ABCeDarius poem, award winner


Amidst the cacophony of
Braying asses around,
Concentration is difficult.
Deafening is their sound.

Every night as I lie down and
Follow the shifting dreams,
Gyrating girls and dancing boys
Hail to me, it so seems.

I don’t know how to deal with this
Jokers’ club day and night.
Kaleidoscopic visions are
Laiden with potent fright.

Men and women, throughout the world,
Never are satisfied.
One met, another desire is
Presently magnified.

Queens and kings have palaces full,
Rich in diamonds and gold.
Still they feel they don’t have enough.
To greed, they are but sold.

Until man learns to curb desire,
Verily he cannot
Withstand satanic forces and
’Xtricate from this spot.

Yelling won’t get him out of wood.
Zero in on this truth he should.
