wandering is effortless

a fresh interloper always on queue

follow in litany without discretion

and see what becomes of

your mission for freedom

absent and unwavering you stand opposed

when it is union you preach

do you expect me to lock my fingers and suffer silently?

before i take a step

transparency

understand my reluctance

actions can expunge empathy

but prowess cannot be denied

the infernal coil of this process is where we belong

i am unpresent

this feeds my petty frailty

a fault in need of repair

seemingly you see in me the same

a reason for defeat

on me rests your rightful blame

why repudiate mine?

trenches and machines, for beginnings not ends

ghosts of our movements still hang over head

history repeats itself but never unchanged

from birth to dust all you can trust is the canopy you made

we must never hold in silence

our woes or joys

a micro-analytic look at yourself

shows a common pattern with no inbetween

hand in hand our power awoke

battered by a changing world we spoke

our truths

our youth has only provided time

to form an understanding

of what's left behind

see this through
