Insomnia

Life forgotten

By Bill BaskPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

As I lay, the world races. On a path of defeat, a path finite. A line that will cease, grace abolished.

Dedicated, true, faithful: attributes no longer offered.

Her inhabitants welcome: worn, faded, abused, removed, lost. Fire burns, heat ever growing, destruction eminent.

Hate fuelled, discontent abundant, connection severed. Old ways are forgotten, sustenance elusive.

Life lost, for the smallest of reasons. Lost in low regard. Precious yet not important. Sacred yet abandoned.

The time is now. Turn it over, watch spirit.
