We are, led astray
captained and capsized
by one-eyed sages
parading themselves
in their royal Highness!
tomorrow they say
is "theirs to plunder"
like a seer, they can see the unseen
and they're gathered round
like puppeteers in the art of puppetry
cooking the future.


The dawn is cloaked
by mild darkness!
but to them!
morning dwells in their sight!
like a leaf in the wind,
we're on the cusp,
hanging onto life's tusk
threading in anxiety


Like a sojourn to Canaan!
it seems like forty years!
before the very eyes:
and we're etched!
like leeches to paths
where destruction resides
but in our confusion;
we're drawn into darker places
in our quest to find light


The road is slippery
hollow and echoes darkness;
but there are men of friendly smiles
and with them is the vision
of our tomorrow
clasped on their palms.
in our trepidation;
we see the hooting and screeching
keeping us awake
in the most silent of nights.


We're scampering!
searching for scents
that leads to eternity!
but they say,
"home is thither"
and we have followed through;
on skeletal roads
seeking shortcuts
to paradise above!
