Just Desserts (for drnick) (Other) by ALChemy
What lessons might be learned
by those who's folly
is to lament a life that lemons left
a sour taste to memories bereft
of smiles?
As love's deniles
through time
can leave one's mind
quite melancholy.
For the sun has yet to fall
before I've spied
another fool
Who's cried and cried
in blasphame,
"Oh lord why have you forsaken me?"
Who hasn't learned
that what is earned
might not be rewarded
but if forwarded
may not come on schedule.
For nature is far grander in scale
than one man's peace of mind
and try and try as he will,
he will not find
the golden chalice
or holy palace
that he believes
is his to recieve
but that the bread he's won has gone stale.
How time is wasted by those who feel
thier "just desserts" deserve to be served.
For in thier need
on sweets to feed
they've entirely missed the bountiful meal
and thus they will be starved.
