Patch Me Back to My Mind
The proposition has faded - as if it never existed
those in-the-know are not swiftly pursued
the walls in the halls of this lonely locale are no longer inviting
and they have missed their chance
to replace any sense of reassurance
Abolishing the reasonable and rational
until we're operating in a moral deficiency:
the familiar becomes foreign
and those once family become strangers
The sentiment to give back equally as much as is received
is well-wished for, but the prevailing shift
will not let up, let go
or let the inevitable arrive
