Ghosts-2

A Poem

Ghosts of future memories haunt me

Staring off in the distance

As tells from my scryne tingle down my spine as they exit my mind

Thoughts of the slain rushing through my veins

Scrying to decipher any meaning

Realizing

It is nothing but chaos and incompetence that drives the world

Hurled down

Into a land ruled by clowns

Slowly being stripped of the fabric of their false reality

Everyone starving to be kings and queens

Only placing value in ephemeral things

Rather than what makes their heart sing

Fantasizing about evocative phantasms of the hereafter

Hoping this is the last disaster
