Reflection of The Orange Lily

Jaxxie

You laugh near midnight,

A cold and bitter laugh

I raise my glass to the stars,

Who boil with distress

What a folly excuse,

The one you’ve made

You walk the path of hatred,

You’ve really made the grade.

    (indeed, but who can blame them
    dear Poet
    see, its so much easier to Hate
    shake your head, in denial
    point fingers, at those universally
    marginalised
    and count yourself lucky, its not you;
    while
    those being, victimised
    choose, anger
    because its easier, than striving
    for forgiveness', capacity
    for self-Empowering, emancipation
    and that makes it simple
    to Hate, everyone
    that accosts them
    and then use that, as
    their bases
    for Nihilism's, self-Hate
    and on
    and on
    and on
    the cycle continues...
    like Spring's blossoming Lily
    foreshadowing
    its Autumnal demise, despairingly)
    thanks for sharing! such
    a thought provoking read, dear Poet
