Undone
by Laurence Overmire
|
That which he does best
He has no opportunity to do
Prospects barred in politics
Privileges of power
Beyond his control
Settling instead for
That which he can do
A secondary virtue
Not without merit
But fraught with the pain of
Knowing
Potentials never will be
Fulfilled
Expectations forever unmet
Disappointment always
In the unjust pursuit
Of happiness.
