Out amongst you all today
all my energy seemed to drain away
bodies activated moving about
speaking, saying something or other
to one another
in tongues, tones, colors
i could not comprehend
then i thought
there are so many of us
cajoling about
bouncing from place to place
no real direction
fully knowing
though never showing
the futility of our
footsteps
i want to wipe away the sun
turn back time so that none of this
had ever begun
i want to burn up the night sky
and watch planes fall
to the hell below
where we dwell for show
i want to be free of my kind
once and for all
so that for once i wont feel
ashamed to speak my truth
out amongst the dying today
i saw them
the faces of the old
i saw their expressions
growing cold
i saw the distrust in their eyes
upon offering a smile
just something warm for awhile
but no
my kindness is a waste of time
but time, i fear,
is all i have
it seems i need new glasses.

I know I offended you a while back by not responding to a Facebook message.
It wasn't meant as ignoring you. I simply forgot to check my account.
I know you wanted to help me.
I thank you for that.
