(((Your Shallow Heart))) Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

There is so much that you do not know-
So much that has been left unsaid...
The temporary misery that you showed...
Was all contrived in your scheming head;

Spoken out of fear not of sorrow-
Your heart 'tis shallow in its contents...!
While you seem to be breathing sighs of relief...
Others feelings are growing much more intense;

Knowing all about you and another few...
Came as a shock and horrible surprise...
Having your name pointed out-
As a player of lies and disguise;

Tell you-it just broke my heart-
And its now nearly cracked into-
You are just another game player-
Another cook in the greed inspired stew;

And so it is with all Merry-Go-Rounds...!
With a Brass Ring or even none...
I have no need to be taught in Braille...! ! !
For your most corrupt ring 'tis done! ! ! ;

We have all the names needed...!
To pursue this further on along...! ! !
And it is your shallow heart...
That is so very very wrong! ;

You are quite the actor...! ! !
Playing your sad-sad song...!
When in the light of reality...
You continue with the others to practice 'WRONG'! ! ! ;

So it is: 'do unto others
As you would have them do unto you'
Never mind your greedy motives...! ! !
I would say that you are clearly through! ;

Nothing more to say-no nothing...!
Nothing more for you to do...
As we are all completely informed...! ! !
Trust that we know all about you! ! !
