Verisimulitude

Furtively procured by tradition;
A tortuous hope for time.
Apparitions of veracity
beckon warmly.
Truth in your heart;
calling for home,
yearning for comfort.
Fancy fades to reality.
Paths laid with hope’s illusion,
strangely paved with deceit –
yet you follow.
Mere frightened child,
somehow trusting…
hoping…braving the winding passage before you.
Accepting your way to comfort’s warmth,
only to discover yourself

further away from home
than ever before.

Sacrifices

Unwritten views through old convolution;
Ravaged by hollow revolution.
Vapid displacement
Outruns country complacence;
In slumbering eyes’ resolution.

Regulations

Naivety follows so blindly
When so very few have decreed it
Never stopping to wonder or question
The creation of boundaries concreted

Governed by silent steeled soldiers
Obeying each day after day
Regulations are newly created
Positioned for every way

Unknowingly, land ventures inside
Failing to obey each new whim
Steel barriers reduced to suggestion
When confronted by innocence within
arcylic

Powerless

Reaching out from urban depths;
stretching across the land.
Leading to sacrifices of tomorrow,
Like
Twine
Guiding
A
Child
Home
From
The
Forest

Nonword

Internal peace
Looks out into
External decay.
Oh,
Harbinger
Lead us not into
Temptation
For you are delivering

Non-feasance

Forgotten corners of authentic memory;
malfeasance deemed picayune.
Noble martyrs –
ignored by those who need them most.

Tradition stands defiant against urban nature;
abandoned by a cold, indifferent future.
Crumbling, decaying…
left living, ironically, for dead.

Demoralize

Life stands alone
Proud
All but enfeebled
Beautiful
And at once,
Out of place
In this
Strange
New
Place
Apart from life
Yet apart from
This death

Complacency

Resistance of urbanization,
makes certain an affable plight.
When demands of the city by day,
make steady labor of the country by night.

Apprehension

Anxiety ingenerated by realization;
trepidation at dangers unknown.
A new world rests on the horizon;
threatening the place you call home.

The future rests heavy on your shoulders;
staring out at a possible past.
Gently whispering its reassurances;
you concede to its power at last.

Anxiety

Decayed beginnings nurture new strife;
as steeled growth stifles new life.
With no land to show,
and no green to grow,
how can we expect to survive?
