drawing all four corners over me
Like a heavy blanket
I have become numb
to the world
of wishes and desires
They hold no
meaning, anymore
They're all lies and empty gestures anyway
We’re all in
a numbed and false dream state
Down here
Standing like
good little soldiers,
All in a row
We believe in hope but are rewarded with false promises
We bow to
fake gods and fake goddesses
In a fiery effort to consume ourselves
One moment my day was sunny and bright
Then bitter
cold
The temperature
plummeted
There was no
time
To fly away and hide
My fate was sealed
Flash frozen
in place on a high wire
The people will come
by the hundreds
To watch
They will
mill around, feasting on popcorn and
drinking soda
Talking on their cell phones and taking pictures
No one will bother
to take me down
The thought will never occur to them
They are just robots
They will wonder, “how come, what happened?”
But I know the truth,
All words,
Empty words, hollow words
