Bored
Everyone’s bored.
Believing the lies of those we despise.
Delinquent
in our shuffling horde.
Blind
Everyone’s blind.
Ravaged and mourning, ignoring the warnings.
Resting
In what we can’t find.
Sick
Everyone’s sick.
The original illness is growing in stillness.
Numb
and cut to the quick.
Dream
Everyone dreams.
Believing it’s real in hopes they can steal
answers,
in how it all seems.
Change
Everyone changes.
From our very first breath to eventual death.
Accepting
what life rearranges.
Hope
Everyone hopes.
Beneath all the rubble, destruction, and trouble.
Rising
to take hold of the ropes.
