All their lives,
They had spent in the pursuit of things.
Things they were told would bring to them happiness...
And status!
...
He...
Of mundane ramblings.
Seeking attention that does not come.
He is stunned.
...
You have to give some folks much love.
If you have it and it's known...
Share it with those in need.
Especially those who feed on myths.
...
Some aspire to have it.
Many do,
With charisma too.
Others claim to fame,
...
A toast to the boasting rant.
Bluster dusting those in whispered chants.
Scatting with street corner bravado...
Being rodomontadinous.
...
How am I qualified?
I would not be selected,
To be in your presence!
What experience do I have?
...
They call on the spirits of a dead man to save them.
They are on the precipice of a financial disaster.
Remaining on a course that should not have begun!
And they are saying someone who wishes to lead them,
...
You are an excuse of miscalculations.
The patience I once afforded you...
Has long run its course.
When I said I divorced myself from nonsense,
...
Shallow are those joys bought on good credit.
And gifts expected to remain treasured forever.
That just does not happen...
When temptations tease to release,
...
Today.
There are no roles to play.
None respected in the way they were.
No believable masquerades to convey,
...
