Crushed and conquered

By Loneliness is condescending •
We travel so far with no words matching thoughts
scattered village presented in decaying time
I know this to be a lie
but I will seek this for the truth
suffering displace Upon the pedestal
our wicked minds lap it up
tossing coins to watch them turn a trick
I’m weeping bitter tears of another time
the one that’s only whispered of
a time our savoir put to rest long ago
lessons never put to heart
as bloodied tears take my face
I see it all take place again to the laughing sneering crowd
