A Matter Of Cake

I feel the need to warn you - cake does not feature until the end :p

Give me grace

And goodwill towards others

Give me good health

And fame beyond compare

 

The sincerity of address

And serenity of appearance

Renders their words

Genuine

Their sentiments honest

Their judgement lacking

 

With eyes heavenwards

They apply to their

Sovereign gods

Asking for no less

Than a miracle

Expecting no less than

A speedy acquiescence

 

Their sympathy is turned inwards

Their pity to the sincere

Their eyes see short fallings

Everywhere but within

Failure everywhere but at home

 

Their fists are clenched

Like the infant that knows not

What it does

Raging at the world

While they fester in their delusions

 

Their ideals invoke reaction

But

This is a matter of cake

And I’ll say no more

But savour only sweetness

And take another slice.

Their sympathy is turned inwards
Their pity to the sincere
Their eyes see short fallings
Everywhere but within
Failure everywhere but at home
