Faltering
Like the top of yet another wave
Destined and designed
To fall endlessly, every time
Enigma of planetary change
Another promise misunderstood
Never kept
Surviving beyond the grave
Winning a ride on fate’s carousel of conception
While seeds like you and me
Wait to plant ourselves
Wait to make it all better
Wait in line for a sign
Wait for some fictitious America to wake up and do Something
Wait for the End of the World
Faltering, I remember
Unplanted seeds do not dream the dream of Life
Never seek the light
They wait
We wait
Waiting
For
The
Next
Thing
To
Happen
And I have learned patience
And I have learned indifference
And I have been taught not to care
And gradually
Nothing is real anymore
We have opened every drawer of Pandora’s box
All the emotions are out on the table
There’s only a little bit of Hope left in the bottom left corner of the Box
While Despair stalks the bones of our 21st century entitlements
And Fear laughs boldly from center stage
We stare extinction in the face
Scoffing at scientists’ warnings
Lemmings not so much led to slaughter as dancing towards it
Faltering only at the last moment
To say
WAIT
