It Was All Gone.

We were thrown towards

life’s empty shores by the tides

of the not knowing,

we were bull dosed into

barren lands by the needs of every day.

We were taught a way to cope with life

but the tools were never sharp

and to follow in the jungle

the same footsteps of before.

We were blown into not knowing

by the phantoms of the State

and caressed with the same feelings

that make dwarves napoleons.

We achieved but only minimal

so to serve the angry gods

and the feeling only temporary

and the template was a card.

Once the hurricane blew

it was all gone.
