The Despair of Man

The Despair of Man

A Poem by 5minutesofcrazy

At any given moment
I can feel my thoughts so acutely
That any attempted at co-habitation 
Is merely the extent of idealism


Truth
Is what is expected
At night when the lights are out
When there is nothing else under the sun
But not tonight


Every passing second
I see my queue of thoughts
Though speaking them publicly
Is naught but a dream


Duty
Is currently needed
During times of anarchy
At which point all have forsaken the cause
Yet not this time


With every tick of the clock
I know of my thoughts desired rebellion
To have them crawl above the surface forged of bone
Is simply just a beautiful dellusion 


Courage
Is the desired
In moments of sheer terror
When the sun has been blotted out
But not tonight


While the seconds tick on
I bring shame upon my thoughts
There will be no position taken today
To ease the fight in my soul


Honor
Is a must
In the midnight hour
When there is none to cry forth
Yet not this time


Now the time has passed
I try to hide from these thoughts
Thoroughly buried are my convictions of old
To the dismay of the members
