So we erect our totem poles
To valiantly guard our stale lives;
Safe again to continue along
Our concrete fields
Of mustard seed
Muted need
Plastic bead
Gaudy weed.
We are fearful to be angry
And so angry, that we feel afraid.
Frustration, anxiety increase -
Expose themselves.
Dry tears descend;
They careen
All unseen-
So obscene.
