Listless and observing
Flicker and await
Is this all that soothes them?
Watch in scorn
What's in these words,
Exchanged without comprehension?
It's settled in
The unsettling
Disregard of compassion
The ways they fall and they stumble
Hesitate and thrive in few
Derived in the egocentric
Ostracized by self
They ways we sway and we retract
Wallow in all that's destitute
Thieving, crawling and tearing
To what expense or end?
What reckless accord?
Countless steps between ideological views
These may be the last breaths between us
