Puzzling ~ Philip Brent Harris
~~~~~
Everything you are about to hear or read is true.
Whether these stories are about me or about you.
How should we tell these stories so they are real
not some mountebank’s wild and fanciful spiel?
I believe that we must trust ourselves, our gut.
I think most folk are happy where they are, but
they want adventure, a quest to transform them,
unknown lands to conquer, win the sacred gem.
They dream of a gift, treasure, without the slog,
if safe, and it’s only their own arteries they clog,
to sport the hero’s smile, parades and accolades,
till eyes grow cloudy, until their memories fade.
Now the great unknown mostly known by most.
Unless, sun, moon and stars align, so they post.
Still, amazing discoveries may sometimes occur;
I doubt your average wage-slave would concur.
