LIFE GOES ON

Life goes on; life goes on
Sometime I want to run away
Events running smoothly
Start to diminish
Right before my eyes
I hold my focus, but
Cannot sway others to the truth

A broken body; a broken heart
Answers so clear are ignored
Suggestions put aside for now
Lamentations about what is wanted
Repeated monthly with no action
The thing to do is evident, but
Continued to be ignored

Action is not taken, which
Would clear the air
Reasoning so absurd
It wants to make me cry
Hoarders are hoarders
Will not listen to solutions
Delay, put off; then excuses

It is not a vengeance tar-dive
But where did the thinking go
A cart in front of an old horse
A requiem just around the corner
Sacred oaths do not matter
To those seemingly in control

They utter their vitriol
Then go into perpetual downtime
Or a flight with only one wing
Landing back where clutter is the king
The fog will not clear
However long the wait

I hate to say goodbye, but I will
I shot the moon, achieved my goal
Then told it was all in vain
Watch people express sadness
Walk out empty handed
Praying that it doesn’t rain
