He Fell

A Treatise on Politics

Two hours to tell

A silence befell them to manifest their fears

It's never easy

Secreting the story from the sensation

A capitulation of fact and fiction

Ensconced in hyperbolic diction

I'm navigating the seas when they meet

trying to find the edges when they are hewn so tightly

I wish to pick at the edges

Until the unraveling unleashes a deluge

Of banal bodings

Clumsy caricatures constantly communicating what simples words would drift past the ears

Lost to the lonely waves of misunderstanding

Set sail, I suppose

He Fell, I surmise

Do tell

Truth and honesty have become lost sailors of obscurity

About the Creator

Shane Cameron

He who jumps into the void

owes no explanation

to those who stand and watch.
