Servants To The Absurd – Written Sunday 3rd January 2016 (Aged 40)

Servants To The Absurd

i could tell, i do tell you,
i mean it, i say it…
i do love you,
but what is love?
love is just a word
when in fact we are only –
servants to things so absurd
our mental health
is measured as a wealth
but find this treasure
and do we have the measure –
of those we love?
in all of these years
there have been many classrooms
and so many lessons
but it would appear,
when it comes down to it
the individual individuality
the sole responsibility
disappears like sudden fantasy
i could tell, i do tell you,
i mean it, i say it…
i do love you
