Welcome Back to the Hive

Adrift in a dark sea of memory

Wondering all the time at what was to be

Lovers, friends, and the occasional adversary

Pulling an arrow from my knee,

Reflecting with moist eyes on the past

How much longer can the world situation last?

Like the deep shadows that have been cast

Standing on the deck of my sinking ship aghast,

Trying not to let my boat capsize

From the weight of the disappointments and lies

Easily life will cut you down to size

Despite your excuses and alibis,

And now a serpent raises its wicked head

Breaking the surface you might wish you were dead

Recalling all the times that you bled

But you chose to go on living instead,

Now you’re asking what it means anymore to be free

The answer eludes you quite deftly

The illusions of the world go on infinitely

On your journey to your own destiny,

Will you recognize you destination once you’ve arrived?

Will you still feel as if you’re still alive?

Or will you need to be revived?

Welcome back to the hive.
