#IAMChallengingBehaviour

They never take the simple way,
A board game ruled by jargon is the game they like to play.
And they can play the game all day
While people they deem worthless waste their vital hours away.
I’ll never understand the things they do,
But honestly right now for me and you
It’s like humanity plays catch up with its sanity;
I’m drowning in a sea of words.

Can someone find a way that’s true
When people do the things they keep on saying they will do?
Excuses only pave the way
For tokens that are worthless in the glaring light of day.
For if you want some meaning for your creed,
You need to turn the talking into deeds.
And when their power games replace the power of people’s names,
I’m drowning in a sea of words.

So why do I sit here and write?
I’ve spent so many moments in a crazy, burnt out fight.
It’s really not a lot to ask
For those who grab the cash to do the jobs that they’ve been tasked.
But bagging bucks is easier it seems
Than making sure they nurture people’s dreams.
When an identity is classed as a nonentity,
I’m drowning in a sea of words.

But this is not a cause I’ll leave,
You sometimes have to fight for things you’ve chosen to believe.
And I would say the same to you
Is this the kind of world you’d leave your wide-eyed children to?
I haven’t all the answers here and now,
But answers can’t explain the why and how
Until a different voice can give the world a better choice
And life is not beyond absurd.
I’m drowning in a sea of words.

  1. Absolutely brilliant. That poem sums up all that we as a family have gone through over the past 46 years.
