Corruptible actions moving through the twilight zone
No way this would be acceptable, if only we’d known

The daily news is becoming so depressing
Hold on...

A council estate with yards full of tyres
A rucksack that’s laden with tin tacks and wires 

Cars outside boozers where loyalist losers

Wooing your view, amber rays peeking through, 
Enamoring jubilation as missives of love I renew
On halo of golden sun inscribing ovations anew 
Blushing purple hues, scintillating skyline blue,
Venerating...

only to bruise my ego with unrest
and sometimes hurt within my chest.

Fallen upon knees in ashes of pipe dreamer’s infatuation 
chimera's collective stardust reigning through macrocosms,

People ask, “Do you have faith?”
Well, do you?
