mute
by jeremy cannon
Narrow passages, caving in on the gulf,
it's time for the redirecting of the systems.
A calm little prayer sooths the envious soul,
blanketed by the compassion of the winds.
It's a dim inner core of manhood, losing sight,
but not yet fooled by the mistresses of faith.
Livelihood and unforgotten tales bring a feeling,
a feeling of resistance, loved by all that is hate.
Empty fields represent the hiding place for the weak,
a place of high plant life that is used as your fortress.
A year goes by and the same old devil waits,
singing you the song that defies its own chorus.
We all have our own dreams, but the fantasies are theirs,
for in this world we see no devious practices.
We are our own sabotage, loving it slowly,
yet we still ponder why God smacked us.
