The World at Large

  The descending sun spooks me, As it reminds me of impending doom. The fate of the world hanging on  the joker wearing the crown. A game of deceit and endless conspiracies, Rigged to make the hidden emerge strong. ‘Come one come all’ The sign bellows. Not one peasant decided to enjoy the menu. They are sinking to fall in their own broken ship. All towing to head into the dark abyss. We enjoy playing the game when it is, Someone else who’s head will twirl if they miss. But when the trigger loads and the target is us. When the bullet wants to grab hold on us. We run so far, without a hitch. We run to never stop to check. What happened to those who tried to save us?

Slow down my dear...

Slowly and steadily gaining speed,

with patience and perfection and so much greed.

Slowly and steadily burning the night,'

without a home or a doubt in where to pass the night,

in every turn, you gain power,

power to rule, wreck or devour./


You were once just a breeze, that no one cared for,

then you grew into a monstrosity,

with damages, no one could pay for,

slow down little one.

slow down your might.

What's the rush to turn into a cyclone by night?/


Slow down little one,

slow down your might

your just a single breeze on a gusty day, my dear/.
