No Witnesses

Our existence needs no witnesses

Bold

The bold let the world go

Carried Away

The wind carries words away

leaving behind peace

Quickest Way

Government is the quickest way to chaos

Quantified

Programmed from an early age

progression measured

lives quantified

Without end

Death brought a beginning

a day without end

On its own

The magic happens

when left to

on its own

Where we are

It's not where we're headed that's important

it's where we are that is

Scarce

Scarce are the moments

when we slow down

Confounded

We make the chaos that confounds us

stillness chased away

Revelation

She thought if she'd knew herself better

all would become clear

but how do you find yourself

and not lose yourself

with the revelation....

Tainted

Politics taints and corrupts

all the poor souls who worship it

Empty Days

Looking back reveals empty days

Unity

Collective is our nature

Unity our challenge

Learning

Learning is our true power

Pushed Apart

Together we could change the world

so, they pushed us apart

Buried along the way

The things we take for granted

are lost in time

missed and soon forgotten

Obscurity

After the suicide

Iris headed to San Francisco

She could hide there

Obscurity her cover

Without Pausing

Absurd as it was

humanity moved as commanded

without pausing

the end came

pages tossed out

Iris smiled

Infected

The world is infected

distractions of our own making

leading us in the wrong direction

Taken Away

If you don't hold on to your freedom

the government will surely take it away

Nothing Ordinary

Love isn't forgotten nor ordinary

Revealed

Our true nature reveals itself in time

Just another night

Lieutenant Charles had a list of enemies

people with things to hide

politicians always did

so many suspects

so many motives

just another night

just another homicide

Broken Promises

Herded like sheep

told what to believe

government demands faith

failure the norm

just another broken promise

A virus

The simulation

smiles and tears

the result

infected it fell apart

a virus they said

On the horizon

The clock runs out

the end always waiting

on our horizon

Together or Apart

Together or Apart

We are one

Joy

Carefree is the joy of youth

Bring Peace

Emptiness brings peace

Be Mine

Anne changed direction

often chasing illusions

she called love

it was her ritual

her meaning

hung in the balance
