the yoke

Folder: 
failure to cope

i am expert at the charming facade

inherited from broken lives

there's burning in my royal blood

fuelling irrational success drives

 

thirst for greatness in a desert

of seven billion human beings

simultaneous lowered standards

anonymity lashes my inner bleedings

 

bear the burden embrace the meaningless

submit to crushing busy toil

constantly reminded YOU ARE REPLACEABLE

submissive seething, bloods boil

 

eyes to my shared heritage lying fallow

spin the wheel for the anesthesia of choice

thorough destruction prompts me to ponder

are royal bastards driven by their silent voice

 

or does this plague every human being

confined by technological embrace

are we all suffering from societal implosion

the death throes of a suicidal race

Redemption

People and governments and humans in general may be plummeting toward the cliff's edge, but historically the brink is avoided eventually. May our luck and wisdom hold. A thought provoking write ~Star~
