Trust Is Another Matter
pandemic morpho toxicity
the sludge squeeze from
the geysers of torture and rape
one after another
life feeds on life
the pilfering of our peoples
the siphoning of our souls
milling upon the millions
minions minimizing our emotions
someone wants to own it all
but does not respect the privilege
gather around the fire
the heat keeps us through the night
i cry for a thousand years
for those ive never heard of
dont deny this places conditioning
my dry eyes can feel relief
harden like the walls of our egos
i insulate and isolate
treading in the quicksand of my own fears
change is inevitable, so become
i once was young
power an elusion shrouded
by the characters who drive
their own machines to bitter end
i forgive you
trust is another matter
