discounted refinement

Sometimes I feel you can be either articulate and feel happy or escape to be a poet and seek refuge in the discounted refinement of thought and stay perpetually thirsty. I hate to become nevertheless becoming a clipart junkie who is trying to put together a collage.

hit and duck in the game of blow
be a meek or simple its way to grow
power play is on try and understand
Pawns we are, you sit or you stand

I have been a gifted fool sofar
see dejection in ashoka's eye even before the war
piggy bank the pain know not since when
shatter it into raptures to start the count again
