Vistas Of Perennial Happiness Poem by John Sensele

Remorse
A dainty dish great minds consume
On the humble horse
Small minds can't begin to assume

In their bid to earn fame
Coveted in the confines of smallness
Vanquished, extinguished and distinguished in blame
As they claim a dose of sadness

That leaves them empty
In body and spirit
When small minds to their detriment court and escort Humpty Dumpty
In his writ

To promote megalomania
Blown oversize
In consort with the mania
Whose prize

Swells small egos
Granting them soporific succor
Upon lumbering them with cargoes
Of ravenous rancor

While the humble
In their modesty and meekness
Shamble forth and stumble
Upon vistas of boundless bliss and happiness.
