This Was Supposed to be a Poem About Snowflakes v/2.0
There is no hope in youth,
only fading, nor comfort in age,
only failing. We cling to sand
and pray for rain, and don't you know
every prayer is answered?
There is no safety in numbers,
only grasping, nor contentment in love,
only asking. We tell our children to share
and fill our houses with greed, and don't you know
every hypocrisy is a tiny cell of cancer?
There is no Truth in opinion,
only thinking, nor Wisdom in judgement,
only speaking. We lie to ourselves
and forget that we lied, and don't you know
of all Liars who is the master?
There is no Love in our love,
only clinging, nor fondness in distance,
only ringing. We name our fear Love
and hide Love in the basement, and don't you know
we cover the basement door with plaster?
There is no Peace in the world,
only waiting, nor efficacy in action,
only praying. We send up prayers for change
and we remain the same, and don't you know
every prayer we send is answered?
