Bespattered Point Of View by Joseph Shenton published on 2024-03-13T03:05:47Z Bespattered Point of View I’m holding true Apposed to the appointed world view The sticky thoughts of yesteryear Are tugging away with a building fear For the guardians of the feckless Work with a doubt that they dare not confess You question but think better than to ask For confidence is high but none are really up to the task My eyes are focused on the mud N’ they’re focused on the stain Focused on the whitewash Focused the torrents of rain I’m looking for a clue Through a bespattered point of view There isn’t much time left It all seems so bereft With a few steps beyond our prime We’re slipping behind our time We ought to be moving now But we’re sinking somehow It’s nearing the end And I tiptoe as not to offend My eyes are focused on the mud N’ they’re focused on the stain Focused on the whitewash Focused the torrents of rain I’m looking for a clue Through a bespattered point of view Genre Alternative Rock
