Destiny

by William Sirett   Mar 8, 2006


Another Poem, another day,
bored out of time, in many ways.
I lie with the smart and the cunning of mind,
and die with the rest, with nothing to strive.

Where do you want me to stand today,
be still forever, as you snap away.
Where am I expected to be in this world,
in a mansion for many, or in a box, curled.

But in this boredom, my mind does wander,
creating art, mystery, and especially launders.
So what do you want of me, oh dearest friend,
poor, rich, or smart, in the end.
What kind of fate, do I hold,
and will I be with you, when im old?

    I think any poet can relate to this. The winds of a mind, bored and swinging from thought to thought restlessly; latching onto one thing and then another. Don't we all wonder where we're going to end up in the end? If we are to be respected or spit on? Your poems relate to the real world in so many ways that there is no way they cannot be likable. Great job!
