"Anomie"
For "Pick A Title, Vol. 43" contest by Edward Ibeh
,
When we were children,
we played games
Often scary...
Running, and hiding,
I remember,
From some dark image
That would
Capture us
Lock us in a dark, castle room
Forever.
But, we could always escape...
Then
Now...
we collide with each other
running to find
Agreement, Compassion, Fresh Air,
Care
Songs
with a different ending
Love
But, the key to unlocking us
Got Lost
Tumbling through purple words
Disinformation
Anger
Despair
And, we are no longer
Children.
