To the Wall

To The Wall Computers, cell phones, mind disconnects as follows Down in the deep, turned off, cut short Where all signals underground have no reception Desolate, only earth and rocks to greet us As door opened on the lower levels chambered depth If I remember, it was a dim green light within the field of vision Soft and low below the turning stone and stairs Mystery began We followed passages of labored labyrinthine in step and style Like two lost aliens not from this world at all Stumbling with hand held narrow beams of light Another door and then another blocked our progress Smothered in dark cold caverns stretching on our way Breaking ancient doors became a sport, so many to forget One after another on and on the miles below the maze Afraid, contained, a world like no other ever found The end came humble after many hours Sore and weary of walk and work A thick rock confronted us The last stop is a curiosity observed To think about our circumstance Ending, after all, it is just another wall that goes no further
