Do You Think You Can Tell Poem by Daniel Richards

Do you think you can tell a
Simple story from the ink on the page,
Can you Decipher hell from a
Life lived through the age
Or tell the difference between a smile
And lies told from behind the veil

Could it be what you dreamt it to be?
Or is it a fallacy from the wish
Would you trade you life for a walk
In the ocean empty of fish
If you where to receive the most
Selfish yearnings you had wished

Would you trade the most sacred
For a life full of high pay
Then could you tell the difference between
Heaven from hell, blue skies from the pain
Il ask again
Heaven from hell, blue skies from pain

When you walk over the same tired ground
With that blindness, what would you find?
When you walk over the same tired ground
With that wish, what would you find?
When you walk over the same tired ground
With that pay, what would you find?

With ignored tears you walk
Walk over the same tired ground
But what will you find?
All you have found?
Are all the same
Same old fears
