I've died, and no one knows
I lay in tatters, a pile of ruin
And everyone looks on
My mortal shell remains in tact
But me and my ka have been
corrupted, disrupted
by the environment and society I was born into
No longer does a neighbor lend a hand
Fences are erected to protect what is ours
No longer do we care about the world around us
The bitter beast of apathy has swallowed compassion and left darkness of hearts in its' wake.
No longer are we free, loving people.
We are chained by the ropes of hate and ignorance.
And so I've died.
Because the world moved on.
And I chose swim.
-Inspired in part by The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and Weeds.
