What if it was a world of words


And writers their disguise
Some traitorous tirade of tongeu twits torrentially
pouring their page on their hearts

Some surprise

I am the largest collection of leaves
Be leaf me

Wither the spoon
Killed with a knife’s

Thrust never gave me the push

What if gravity decided to let go

Some would twist like thinnest thread in tendrils of
terror

Pity seldom used
Justice lies beneath a tarp slowly gathering dust
Hope has changed to less
Love no longer shared
Heroes stopped their fight
