Description
Oh, my poor children, youβre all insaneNaming stars that youβll never reach
Coming to the crossroads to chant spells
Trying to grip amorphous thoughts
The keys to the kingdom never existed
Children of the junkyard, rusted, broken
The delusion of chance warm in your brains
Your hope rests on myths and fairy tales
Memories of things that never were
Your bellies empty as your eyes of glass
Conjure visions of golden days to come
Believe the wind whispers your names
Empty-handed but mad with dreams
Lost in illusion you walk into the void
Swallowed up greedily by starless night

I quite liked it; it conveys really well the sense of hopelessness.

"Conjure visions of golden days to come

Sad, but true and poignant

The last line made me feel a bit lonely.
I loved all of it.Β Β

I really like this though the sad truth of it is quite painful. It reminds me of a life crisis. Well done, sir

Thanks, Ms Bee,,, I'm always happy when you like something. I can't seem to do anything much but bleak without becoming silly.

Silly? I think not. You have wit to spare.

despite being so illusive, Ron,
this says a lot, on potentially
a ream of subjects.
something for everyone.
sacred cows fed, slaughtered,
yet fed again....
[long enough to say something,
and short enough for repeated
reads without feeling put upon]

Yeah, I had one thing in mind when I wrote it, but I preferred not to spell it out. Thanks!

.........and that says it all very concisely.
Reminds me of the little Gypsy kid who was killed here in France just recently.
Brilliant.

I would ask what happened, but the death of a child is too upsetting to me to want to know the details.
