Writing in The Dark

Promise Land

"Nectar Collectors", By Keith McHugh

I don't understand,

This reflection I command.

Nothing goes as planned,

I watch my hopes disband.

Disappointed again and again,

Doing the best I can.

I don't understand,

Unconditional demands,

The grand scheme at hand.

I'm a Tired rubber band,

Ready to snap if I expand,

I couldn't be a better man.

I don't understand,

This plan of a Promise land.

It cost so much I can't stand,

Money feels bad in my hands,

Keeping me trapped to demands,

Testing what I can withstand.

I don't understand,

A way to create it on demand,

Spread it through the mainland.

Ending hungers command,

Letting Love become,

The Promise Land.
