Mankind

Broken words
Fragile sentences
Let's see where
They will lead,

Biased eyes
Where legends will
Rise
Nose dive,
Broken promises litter
The ground
Ashen snow, fall
All around
Me

Set the world
Aflame, without
Shame,
Another giver fearing
The taken,
Fated to fall
Far below any
Expectations

Dare I say,
I'm tired of these
Ways?
Glittering trust fall
To Pieces again

Rise from ashes,
Only to turn to
Dust,
What have we become?

A mockery of
What should have been
A distant claim to
What could have been

People can truly be disappointing when one ponders. Talk is good though the outcome hardly ever matches. The world says .. sell, sell though no service is provided. Great write K.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
