The Darkness Of Nothingness Poem by Francis Duggan

To daydream of better i must be a fool
How silly of me the once dunce of the school
To think that one day that i might be a poet
A person well worthy of literary note

I am of the World of the small minded men
Like scared little puppy locked in the lion's den
Trying for to break free of my cocoon of fear
The voices of negativity are all i do hear

A horrible World to live in today
Where the greedy and arrogant have their own way
To the autocratic and narcissistic most of our power we do give
The people who do not believe on live and let live

A World where many grow poorer for every new millionaire
Where most of the wealth is controlled by those who do not know how to share
In a World where i feel as one of the strange
The things that need changing i feel helpless to change

Like Autumn leaf in the rapids of the flooded stream
Of a better life i no longer do dream
I used to wish for what i never could be
And only the darkness of nothingness does await me.
