Life's amaizing illusion

poem by: Derek Vincent
Written on Apr 02, 2015

Infatuation? 
To love or to covet.
Love?
To admire or to ogle.
Covet?
To desire or to want.
These are questions we've deemed necessary to not answer. 
Apathy?
To not care or to despise. 
Caring?
To show amity or to show sympathy. 
Despise? 
To unwant or to disown. 
These are attributes we say we understand but ignore the true rede.
Understand? 
Do you really care about what I have to say?
Do you only love me because I was the first to say hay?
I'm truly flattered by your amorous offer.
But your soul is oblivious so I beg to differ.
You are blinded by lifes amazing illusion. 
So snap out of your volatile delusion.
