Under a Western Sun |
In them we’ll find the answers for which our longing grows with every passing |
hour. |
Until then we must continue to observe. |
We haven’t come so far to tear ourselves apart at seams that we have stitched |
in otherwise perfect existences. |
The difference between us and animals is that we are cognitive enough to choose |
to chew through instead of just doing or otherwise dying. |
Survival is no longer a priority in the eyes of how it was originally defined. |
Now, it is a mockery of its former self. |
An apparition in the mirror’s image: still there but only semi-whole and |
floating along, |
drifting in and out of conscious thought. |
How the mighty have fallen down. |
Tempting the hand of fate over and over has only ever seemed to make us grow, |
all while holding on to the lessons learned. |
Thrown into colder exposures we have always warmed our souls. |
Like the match girl in the alcove, sheltered from the snow, we all want to be |
warm before we go. |
One by one, the matches fall with dwindling visions of a brighter future, |
but the glow is finally found when the whole box burns. |
As good may not exist without its counterpart of evil, such, |
I feel, is unity without the notion of division. |
Divided and crawling away from human nature, we find ourselves trapped in the |
modern age with a growing phobia of culture in these United States. |
How the mighty have fallen down. |
Wrench yourself from your sweat-drenched stance of envy and greed. |
Stretch your hands in any direction you please, but just don’t sit there |
stagnating. |
Hope is the filthiest four letter word to the old and dying prisoner of war, |
so use the tools at your disposal to capture and to hold what is most real in |
your soul and never let it go. |
