Tapestry
To comprehend the threads within the weave
Look back on three millennia, retrieve
The essence of our being's hopes and fears
Threaded through the lives and all the years
Took a toll on me I've yet to face
As heart begins the final leg of race
I've wrestled with the marching grip of time
T fought the beast in words of prose and rhyme
Another life in which the heart transcends
From days of youth, in which the loving mends
It should be coming closer as we march
Past the dimwit stage of pain and parch
As love's fulfilled in youth, the final stage
Humanity, at last, will come of age
So many things that still remain unknown
That only can become, to human, blown
Into a shape that fills and touches sky
Providing riddles' answers on the fly
That burst of incandescence that did burn
Throughout my life, but broke at every turn
Confronting, as I did, the lonely fact
That I was not insane but, still, in tact
While, to the world at large, it seemed I cracked
No one there, at all, that had my back
Ahhh, but now, I see it clear as day
That rhoetry will have the final say
A toll in which a loving life can play
No need remains to hear the jackass bray
As words begin to flow with clarity
As man, with woman, reaches parity
Sanity can spread throughout the race
At last, that I can hold my love in place
As love, at last, is taken for a ride
Sanity can spread both far and wide
To every corner of both time and space
Within the bones of all the human race

It staggers me to realize, at this juncture, that my existence has been both a blessing and a curse - for me. To realize, while everyone else is blithering along, that there is something deeply wrong with humanity that can be corrected with such little trouble, to be the only one that has a penchant for clarity, to realize there is only one riddle that counts, is both a burden and an unmatched joy that causes revel like no other. The bane of men must be confronted for humanity to gain its sanity. Until then, the monkey remains in charge, braying like a jackass.
That the revel had to be savoured alone in this lifetime is the same. A blessing and a curse. Yin and Yang comes to mind.
(pre)Humanity has misunderstood everything.
I am finally very happy to say I am not part of the herd in any way. It's always been true but it has been much more difficult for me to accept until now.
I don't think this rhoem will require mods.
