Holes can't remember.

by ^Scottish(canser) - Not entered

I once met a hole who said to me, 
look at me I'm to deep 
and I said just let things be.
The hole said, so many people have
fallen, why can't they get out? Well
I said let me try and he said wait, 
life just might pass you by. I should have
taken his advise and walked on by, but I was
the fool and now I'm goin' ta cry.  Well I sat next to 
the hole with my feet dabbled inside, he said
you better not do that or your frame shall 
surely die.  I looked at the hole and I jumped
in head first, he swallowed me up as if 
that was his whole intention.
But look at me now my life is built
around this horrid tension.
After he had his fun and chewed 
me up like meat, it spit me out as
if I was less than a friend.
I find my self thinking about 
what might have happened if 
I were to stay inside
But now I am just a person
and that hole is my prison.
Now I'm on the outside looking 
inside the hole 
I better be careful or I might 
find myself being chewed
up like a fool.
I'm glad this hole came early 
down the road I just hope it 
found the love, the love I bestrode
Well we took our separate 
ways, hopefully with no bitter
delays, but as long as we 
know that we are two different
objects, two different objects 
but society's loyal subjects.
Well this is the story of hole and 
the fool.  I hope my wisdom is 
learned and my life is more than
a tool, but as long as we make 
life less than a crutch but more
than a tool, life just might have 
something better for you and
not so cruel.

Reason for writing:

    To remind me of the horrid past?
