Abandoned Roads On the Sands of Time
Listen to poem:
Abandoned Roads on the Sands of Time
David J Walker
Inherent the stolen lands
Claimed and abandoned
By forgotten hands
Inventory incomplete
Innocence replete
with sin
And/then
do it again
And again
Believing in steepleless and
Invented gods
At odds
With the believingless peopleless
Congregations
Inherent the swollen lands
And stolen simple
the supple surplus plans
the inventories of
back stories of
successes and excesses
the hungry hands form lines
at the backdoor kitchenettes
of abandoned trailer courts
along the roads of the
sands of time
