Lagumbay.com Reflections on Love, Rage, and Fear

Just another face in the flood of people
An eloquent lark upon larks
Whose song is drowned by the background noise
Made by birds in their wildlife parks.

Sometimes I scream “I am sorrowful!”
Just to hear all the words fade away
Though sometimes if luck would permit me,
A reply of “You ruined my day.”

Sometimes I yell “I feel wonderful!”
At times when I feel delight.
They groan and complain that their life is a mess –
That if nothing else kills me, they might.

Thus I have learned to be vengeful
For vengefulness breeds best in one,
In a world full of people who all think they care –
It really all adds up to none.

The world may accuse me of heartlessness
Though they must realize that in fact,
When I shared what I had, they ignored me
And my heartlessness kept me intact.
