Lives sleep walk into the sunset.
Working through the day with therapy breaking
Eardrums from open windows and still
We drive.
Machines power the system in well oiled suits.
Non conformity leaves the flow of the masses
Daring to return the punches, slingshots,
Tokens of David to bruise Goliath and nothing
Smells of Victory, but there beats the heart
With no choice but to fight.
Rivers of determination dry with the humiliation
Before rage finds no way forward, life implodes
Simmering, venting, containment strengthens
Spirit prevails and eyes awaken to the reality of
What are we and who are they?

Hi Anna,
Oh to return to those sweet-smelling and
halcyon days of innocence, sunshine, and
healthy breathing! Alas, purity has been
sacrificed for 21st century ash clouds and
fire-breathing dragons of ''progress.''
Succinct in your descriptions, Anna - with
a hint of ''Dread.''
Tommy
