    a lesson on questions


    As I sit and contemplate
    analyze and complicate
    recreate and situate
    torn between love and hate
    twist of fate
    still I wait
    in an altered state of mind
    with no concept of time
    doin lines, spittin rhymes
    sendin shivers down my spine
    the truth may hurt but please don't cry
    the reason I philosophize
    is to find the reasons why
    close your eyes, take a breath
    think about life and death
    expect the unexpected
    take a minute to reflect
    do I detect a hint of doubt?
    have you finally figured out
    what these words are all about
    how much louder should i shout
    just reroute what you believed
    it was all preconceived
    previously deceived
    secrets hidden up my sleave
    wait dont leave, i ain't done
    watch me run into the sun
    the final countdowns begun
    Are you ready? Here it comes
    Five
    Four
    Three
    Two
    One

    lol, No questions no lies

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
