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?
