Hello Earth?

Which up is up
Which direction is down
The fellow that can distinguish
Deserves nothing less than a crown
For I am myself lost
As a sailor abandoned at sea
Thrown overboard in the water
Dragging my head holding it under
Mercilessly

Sentenced to alienation
Casted away from other beings
Yet with everyone in sight
Humans close within my reach
However so distant and far away
Like a desert mirage on scorching days
Leaving a sense of emptiness
Longing for shelter
Parched and sore
Bones which shiver and ache
To feel warmth of another
Or their breath on my cheek
Such peace it would bring
Oh what a day dream of childish things
I have never known such a void
With a magnitude of 10 fold
Demolishing my spirit to merely dust
While my empty shell shivers from cold


As a building torn down
Dilapidated with moist mold
Begging for a touch up or two
Wanting to be good enough again
I can do it please
Or just let me fold

Take a moment from your thinking
Of thyself never veering
Or those day dreaming dreamers
Of a place that does not exist
A sanctuary style way of living
With care and kind arms open wide
Please stop wasting my time

My inquiry is why
Why do we lie
Even if it's a small fib
Dressed in all white?
Why tell someone what they want to hear
To ease and settle their fears
Only to turn around almost immediately
And use their truth to your advantage?
Why do we hate intensely?
And why are we capable of such thing?
Why is evil overcoming
What we call light?
Why build sometimes broken husk
Just to drop them again


Maybe because they're broken
They won't fight...
