In the desert, on foot, how else could one be
Walking north, chasing one’s pole star
Oases abound, no fresh water though
Parched as the soul is, no solace in sight
Keep walking one must, one foot after another
Gods to be have forgotten, are forgotten
Eons spent tumbling with the wind
Long forgotten hope revitalized
Why can’t it be stamped out though
Would be simple, to stare at stars
As they fade away, as do memories
As do expectations, as does the hurt

Watch it all burn

Sudden onset of melancholy
world is a depressing place right now
Famine, hunger and war
People dead and uprooted
a girl searching for her brothers killer
politicians making statements
Jackdaws are democratic
and humans morons
I wish to be in a better world
Place of peace, quiet and happy coexistence
People free of enforced rules and values
