Float free

Float free!

That’s the dream.

But the chains are embedded in the skin.

Leadership lost

Not now; they’re not!

Leadership was a figment of imagination.

They were just like an empty promise.

The deep within, which was pride,

was demolished in the blast from the past.

Violent end of a peaceful life!

Collapsed

That what was

Was just not we thought it was

It collapsed under

the weight of its perfection

Destination regret

You know they will copy,

they will follow

but won’t acknowledge

A time will come when they will reach

trundling, while you just raced.

Meanwhile the deep chasm between

Will be filled with hatred

because of the inevitable truth

that you say you know

And they just feign ignorance.

The realisation just takes time

for some and for the rest later.

Anguish

Take that anguish out

Nothing then remains..

The anguish that has been nurtured,

by the seemingly innocent fires blazing around

Just the empty shell of a human

adorns the dreary land
