What is my reality?
life’s music taking me further away
from what I see – understand
maybe think I know!
I stand amongst
the ruins of civilization
flames all around
time has ceased
forever trapped in this dystopian nightmare
never to die or sleep
Yet somehow I have found contentment
peace within myself
accepting my lot
grateful for what I have
not envious of the material rich
their path – never mine
Perhaps once for a time?
Acid rain now melting my face
like a waxwork
destroyed by thermite
laughing inwardly
as I become one with the soil
to be moulded again
by God’s hand
into the man
I should have been….
