Wisdom reached?

Wisdom reached?

* Wisdom reached? *
I can no longer carry lies
as nimbly simply as once I did
Detritus of age gathers
A rolling stone of conscience
Realising actions have consequences
Free lunches do not exist
The zipless f*ck a myth
Maybe some once they did
More often shadows and echoes
Obligations iceberg deep
5 per cent you can see
95 per cent outside your sight
Trailing commissions of social obligation
The ball of tangled string gathered
May so easily entangle you
All this wisdom gathered
Makes a paralysis of action
To not do and so commit
To all the terms and conditions
For to some a simple kiss
The strongest form of contract
Unbinding unbreakable inescapable
When all you had desired
Was a thimbleful of bliss.
