Too Long on My Own

Sitting here like a Red Wood watching life pass me by

Used to be a part of that “Pie in the Sky”

Emotions were sometimes low and sometimes high

It seems in slow motion as I try to keep my eyes dry,

Lately, I’ve gotten into anomalies

Paradoxes, rabbit holes and mysteries

Looming like the Sargasso Sea

Fossilized like petrified trees,

The interjection of liquid perception

A night sky enamored with glowing ejection

There’s always a turnout for the freak show election

You’re invited to my ultra-terrestrial collection,

Life is like probing a deep underground cave

Surprised by how many ways you can become enslaved

As you survive in a world that has become depraved

So many things overlooked and forgotten like soldier’s graves,

Like some unsung hero I cling to a knife edge

Have suffered through the lies that have been alleged

Wondering at all those wondrous promises pledged

But now the hour glass drains full-fledged,

Like a phantom in the night love has eluded me

A ghostly mistress of promiscuity

Leading me into a maze for perpetuity

Did I sacrifice my masculinity?

Like a crystal skull from an origin unknown

Still I’m here they can’t dig up my bones

All the sheep, cyborgs, mutants, and clones

For too long I’ve been on my own.
