I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, 
Yet no sound is dispatched
These guilty grazers are all culprits,

By a never-ending string
Suffocation is...

From old bits of second hand cars

In life's graveyard, where shadows dwell,
Though the past summons like a knell 
That beckons, leading to heaven or hell.
For brooding memories often scar,

At the Airport, waiting for the plane,
I look around and see
Heads all down, screens alight, conversation naught.
People sitting, concentrating, fingers flying,
No discussion, silently watching, no hello or goodbye.   
Laptops open, Apps displaying, checking...

would lead to inevitable lift-off.

If men were gods
Then horses will fly
If men were gods
Then no one will die
To mold the

With a wand in my hand
And turn a swarm of bees
To a matching band
