A bed crudely made of stones and rocks
It's dark outside as usual, and again

Words hanging from parched branches confused and betrayed

Under a canopy of shadows in the recess of belittled thoughts

A prison of speechlessness bereft of expression and meaning


Letters motionless in disarray fighting lost battles lonely at heart

With bountiful natural resources and endless wealth

The battles were long and arduous but they finally won

And a lot of a good thing can be too much.
