Chapter 420

Condescend

I seem to have a way
When a message I send
To upset some with words
That I have spoken or penned

When I seek to communicate
I am not trying to offend
To try to be someone different
I would have to pretend

Others have beliefs
With which I must contend
However my own beliefs
I will always justify and defend

I will do what I can
To patch, fix or amend
For events that occur
Causing problems I did not intend

If I had more
Would there be less to spend
Life is but a blurry fog
Each moment harder to comprehend

Whatever I seek
I can not apprehend
Everything with a start
Will surely have an end

Others look up
A route to ascend
The only path for me
Into darkness will descend

There is only myself
On which I need depend
As time endlessly ticks on
Nobody is my friend

Nobody
