Enough of these insipid banalities!
We give far too much thought to random frivolities.
The effort we make is really a waste
of space in our cranial cavities.
Please allow this poor mendicant
a chance to recant
what I thought was relevant.
I see now what I couldn't see then -
that most modern drivel isn't worth paper and pen.
People spend their days on meaningless essays,
entertaining themselves with rancid forays
into time-wasting pleasures of contrived importance.
Tickling the ears, teasing the soul,
but in the end regurgitating the goal
that's in the DNA of every embroyo;
The goal that all immortal personages should seek,
that of preparing for the reality
of where and with whom we'll spend eternity.
