I Ponder

"I Ponder"
-by Dan Puskar 2004

I sit amongst my shattered dreams
and ponder what existence means
I think of days and times gone by;
a thought of bluer, clearer skies
When I'd never known regret
and had not known what deception meant
Before the ill had me consumed
Before my life had known such gloom

I find it strange to just conceive
that there are those who plot and scheme
vacant souls who lurk amongst
with wicked goals and forke'd tongues
When all that I with truth desire
is to lift my spirit higher
and live in freedom, free from strife
avoid the souls who plague my life
