How do we live here?

 I marvel

At your dancing skirt,

Your shimmering feet

Your lamed mind.

 

I arrow gazes at you,

The one that lures you from us.

Like a climate shift.

 

your eyes walk

to embrace my gaze,

and it uncovers the

 shallowness of your state.

In expressed generosity, they step on our already tattered life, leaving us to cuddle more slums.  What has become of my nation that was birthed from a fruitful juice, bathed in the foundation of our satisfied ancestors. Now, it is being washed with the infidel hands of the unfaithful son of fathers. What is life filled with the only glory of existing?

Like a robust cloud, we all waited and waited but the august visitor cut him down shattered hearts and totality on an innocent day. Then the trail trails... to prick another young.
