Poem 7: Idler's Confession


Addicted to leisure
—such is my pleasure—

I flout the norm
As an idler born

Of legal Society
—the established hierarchy—

Bringing light poetry
In a flight of frivolity 

To a world of deception
—at least in my perception. 

Untied to dire workplace 
'Tis creative fire I chase

Whether it be music's charm
In that there is no harm 

Or Literature's meanderings
Treasure to the soul's wanderings. 

The secret of freedom
The true meaning

Is listen to your heart
—don't play a part!—

Unlearning the fear
Instilled at early year 

Of those who make the rules
—the purpose of School—

That you may at length laugh
At Authority's life-denying path.
