self-delusion

those who are bored expect the world to dance

in complex time or to produce new sights

while wondrous odours emerge in the nights

and simple beauty their days should enhance

their every word the wisest should entrance

bringing about as yet unthought delights

exalting them to even greater heights

but leaving not a thing to luck or chance

there is no rule but we expect a break

to come our way and all the roads to go

just where we want since each of us believes

fate speaks in our tongues and bids us take

all we desire and we've no need to know

anything more for fear that truth deceives
