Stoned Or Shown
Stoned or shown
Darkening skies,
Clouds Coalesce.
Converge. Bleeding Truth.
Shedding illusion,
Everything must die,
But really not.
Unless less useless onerous
In onus, they rest.
Senile youth, devoid
Love in bane. Lawless order,
Chaos. Confused. Confess!
A love in vain , in veins, in rain.
Did I lose? Are we on our own?
Home-rule.. in shadow of a cold shoulder – unanswered phones
Political pig picks/ pocket stones
Or chains to the boulder.
Like broken appliances, or unpaid loans.
Owned or owner?
Stoned or shown?
