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? What happened to the joker who longs for love? What happened to the magician, is he still sick? The old man, next door, did he get his tip? The world of our species amuses me. To see the world move by so cheap. The moon is now out. It winks at me. The stars shining bright following me. The world beyond our species, F...

Tied.

 The world is hidden from my sight,

With only words of violence dampening my light.


Pictures and puzzles are all a maze,

Perpetual vision lost in the gaze.


Complexities through issues arise,

Leading me to tan out my facial stride.


Holding back my power from them

I feel the greed and anger begin to devour my head.


Slowly as though, a mountain flare.

I see myself battling glares.


Slowly as though, a shadow queen,

I find myself battling gleam.


Hoping for a paradise,

In a world of chambered hell

I lost my sight in this mighty prison cell.


Taken away, pulled apart.

All that’s left of me is a murky dot.


Hidden under a masked veil.

What must I do but wait and conceal?

What must I do but not reveal?


As the world is hidden from my line of eye,

And the conmen have risen.

My hands are tied.
