A Poem? If I Knew Then

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Leftovers and afterthoughts

Are all we tend to give

Burnt offerings’ ashes

From the bottom of the bin

 

If I knew then

What I know now

How rich,

Or, how poor

 

What would I have been

Or, what would I have become

If I knew then

What I know now

 

Does God deserve first offering?

My gift is last and suffering

Does he deserve an honest mind?

Not lies we use to hide behind

 

The last becomes first

Our first becomes worst

The day becomes night

The desire becomes thirst

 

If only I knew then

What I should know now

The first of my love

Would have been the best

…of the amount

This is a blog. I like to write. I used to write parodies and crackfics. I love humor pieces, but I also like human pieces - preferably not strewn about the floor - but all attached to the human. I will change this introduction in possibly a week, depending on my mood. Please check out my blog and see how little I know about traveling, life, soul-searching and grammar. Goodnight and good searching!
