We make life so much more
Complicated than it should be,
Convoluted nothingness.
Pitiable Pompousness,
Coupled with graceless ignorance,
Oh! what a pair.
Unrefined nobility,
with minds full of cryptic emptiness.
Absurd thoughts
Spill out of a trivial mouth
Forming aimless, enigmatic babble.
Chests swell with pride,
As they stand immovable
on insignificant postulates.
Foolish faces filled with glee
at the relevance
of their irrelevant "discovery".
We hide a sympathetic smile,
for these poor, ignorant souls,
Behind our attentive facade.
Later we marvel
At the intricate
Insignificance of it all.

Now that is some marvelous writing! "Unrefined nobility, with minds full of cryptic emptiness," and "Foolish faces filled with glee at the relevance of their irrelevant discovery." Ooooo! I love the use of word paradoxes in the poem, it really brings it to life! Fantastic job!
I'm so glad that you liked my poetry! Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, thanks for the compliments Tori. I'm not so much into the whole poetry thing, but sometimes when you never stop thinking about things, you end up having something meaningful to say, and you say it. Anyway, I've been working all day, it's now 3:45, and besides a cup of coffee this morning, I haven't ate or drank anything today, so time for lunch.
