Nonsense in Allegory

Nonsense in Allegory

A Poem by Plagued Monumentally

If you seek through the eyes
of a believer
you will find the horizon somewhere
that a pessimistic won't
If you seek through the eyes 
of a golden retriever 
you will find that love can be found
anywhere
If you weep through the eyes 
of a confused man
you will see images of his former life
and his despair is surely a scare
If you compete through the eyes
of a perfectionist
you will weep when you seek to 
compete.

Deep, expressive piece. You have a stunning maturity to your work, I think.

Wow that was something. To do the things of others or look through eyes and know their past and what they felt that was something. It'd be a lie if I had a favorite because I really enjoyed it all. I really loved the concept all in all so well done and can't wait to read more of your writings.

Wise words that speak of the many perceptions that we often store as one. Nice!
