Couldn’t Be Wronger

So long you toil
grand schemes all spoil
labour, belief all these years you

couldn’t be wronger
none less spot on
more off the mark now than
when first begun
some self denier
none more unsung
doggedly dragging your
lost cause along

follow your star
trail it too far
when, at sunrise, no surprise you

couldn’t be wronger`
none less correct
still paying dues that you’ll
never collect
hasn’t the coin dropped?
nobody told?
when does indifference
force you to fold?

no-one writes nor
calls at your door
those friends moved on: gone, gone, gone, you

couldn’t be wronger
none less aware
digging for diamonds
in pits of despair
when do you wise up?
climb from your hole?
Has it grown too steep
to gain a foothold?
