Ageism

a pervasive bareness
walks like an honest lie
on the road to truth   the bone white marble
god oversees the planet green’s woes
a climate change of heart    its manipulations
its intrigues

something remains unsaid when i look back
i think again before i disappear between
bread and god    whosover is stronger
than me   i remained unchained  distrusting
the rules laid  down by  hoaxes    now i
am not me

i am not a god    i am not a thought    only
innocence of an unopened bud.
