Where’s my prideA Poem by EdWheres my pride Theres no reason to have any I was made to bow down since I thought I deserved a privilege or a luxury Where I’m going there won’t be reason for eloquence song or dance or lecture attenuation. Since my pride is in my words and I’m a desolate fool Blind to having seen God when there was opportunity I hope that when I’ve walked as far as I can go God will take me, since I couldn’t tell what love, what beauty, what joy I had waiting for me. I suppose anyones right, since I’m my only reason for suffering. And so I’d like to believe and know that I will have mercy when life has left my eyes. Buried in a cemetery, buried in the desert, buried in the moment of what I had, reckoning. I didn’t know there was no hope for me I didn’t know I died a time ago And the words known before there was the phrase Dead man walking, and all there is for me is disdain I once knew what it was like to have the better half And a fool forever more for letting it slip so easily that All I am is a laugh. When I had seen my wickedness, I knew I’d end up in a desolate place, and knew I’d suffer only to be tossed into perdition. There will never be a green place, a tree with mist and forestries of days to which is said to be of days of joy. Who should I point a finger to, since all anyone wanted was for me to shut up and take it. I suppose thats what life is, since my disrespect isn’t forgiven. One day when I can, will drop to the ground as dead Instead of thinking a gun could save me, or an arrow Since thats been tried and futile is the way to which war has lead. I don’t want riches, I don’t want women I don’t want a debacle, I don’t even want a friend I’ve tried to.. whatever I may, but never got far enough to know if its true whats been said. Theres no reason for me to obey or disobey since all I am is a fool Broken is the mirror in the water since I’m drowning in my sin. Soul saving since pointing out soul winning was for winners And all I can hope for is to someday be truly asleep in rest in God when I’m dead. Never did I taste the luxury of this age and this day and since what I did was complain for reasons although not always legitimate. I suppose I inherited this life since The Holy Bible was not considered while there was still something and I am forsaken and there is no one who cares anymore. Being treated for frailties and weaknesses and suffering is for those who deserve it. I am just a convict who worry for has been left and the only thing I have to look forward to is dread. Why point out who’s taken what, since its not important I write this letter, since its all I have, and all I have is almost gone. I love you. Please don’t do that. © 2022 Ed |
