Desolate
I walked unaided
Down the desolate lane
A glimpse of a dewy heaven
A flash of the ancient times
My existence awakened indolent minds
My reasoning was not for them to know
It was a pondered idea a type of crossroad
Of the times of yore and modern reality
Although they knew nothing of our ways
Jealousy never prevailed - instead sympathy
What had befallen a careless mankind?
They knew not and curiosity never entailed
Their rejoiced souls rest satisfied
Their conscience inquired not
I turned back saddened by the present
I had to return though my spirit longed to stay
Backwards to what has been completed
Backwards to an enforced obliteration
I walked unaided
Down the desolate lane
