I Am The Melancholy Man Who Lives The Melancholic Dream Poem by Colm Hayes

I Am The Melancholy Man Who Lives The Melancholic Dream

Rating: 4.3


I am the melancholy man who lives the melancholic dream
In the concrete jungle that grows per diem
I have lived my life by the rules they gave
A mere monotone of a monotonous regime,

I was made on mass down on the factory floor
By the factory men whom were factored before
Manufactured drones making a mere jackslave
Perpetuated imperfections of heretofore,

Yet providence and chaos for change often conspire
To cast of the robes of the gray friar
Washing away thier lies in a in a maddening wave
Showing the truth behind the veil of fire.

Beautifully phrased. Reminds me of 'Richard Cory' by Simon and G, don't know why. Thanks for this one.
