Written in one of my sombre moods. I reread it today for the first time since I wrote it. Give it a go and tell me what you think. Take care.

Low born in a world of strife,

Powerful left but inadequate right.

A role in life chosen,

Significant moments to pass.

Control sought every day,

Is an ethereal task.

 Role written, scene set,

Part played is job at hand.

Learn to pretend, all is complete,

Waves, life creates.

Path is seldom seen clearly,

Immersed up to neck.

Heart not to speak,

Passion best bound.

Instead speak in generalities

Lest station is overstepped.

Speak loudly and be silent,

Ignorance needs quiet.
