Lull in the Storm
Open up my door
And I see more
And more
It’s always such a bore
Workers toiling
And toiling
As the day shifts into night
They return into their slumber
Only to repeat this
Day in
Day out
All of them miss
To realize
Cattle in a field
With boundaries
March on toward
A break in the fence
None steps out
Over the bars
That holds them within
I don’t blame them
For their sin
This world
Has always been
A factory
Churning out
Humans
Which adhere
To the latter
Few realize this
And take steps
To make sure
They don’t get lost
In this colorless society
Any colors splashed on
Are wiped off and coated
With a gray layer
Which is imprinted
On everyone who walks out
Of its doors
This societal impediment
Humanity’s mistreatment
Is a great misdeed
Upon which they feed
In this darkness
Sparks still fly
But in scarcity
Cause of the vile.
A net is cast
Upon the ocean
Oh so vast
And one by one
They come
One by one
Oblivious to the trap
The select few
who did shoo
look back
in the tracks
Mass teaching
And preaching
And leeching
And seeding
Is the fate
Some fall into despair
But some don’t think it’s fair
And they fare better
Than those who don’t dare
Chances come and go
No waiting
All it takes
Is to prance
On the prey
For your sake
Clones clone clones
Layers and layers
Of black and white
Soldiers march
Onward and onward
Order prevails
In this world
All should be
Spick and span
A drop of blood
In a sea of blue
A grain of rice
In a sea of black
Which appeals
And makes you feel
Such emotion
Creates a notion
