Frozen In Time

   Full speed ahead into the future
But the future spells disaster
For the past is catching up
And it seems to be moving faster

The Civil War pitted brother against
Brother and father against son
So many families destroyed and so many
Lives lost when it was all said and done

Recent events shows that the Devil
Is yet again up to his ***** deeds
How easily we humans are deceived
In our minds he plants his hatred seeds

And the future is whisked into the past
Is there nothing we can learn
Now they want to erase history
Riot and watch their cities burn

Our present is hanging in limbo
Hear Hells Bells as they Chime
In space our world turns
But it’s frozen in time

Each day is broken
At the zero hour,
Splintering like a derelict,
On the craggy shoreline of the morn;

Flotsam abandoned,
To the oceans of yesterday,
The beach combed for treasure,
To keep for tomorrow.

When you find yourself googling ‘marine+law+salvage’ it’s time to stop poeming for the day. Have obviously been watching too much Poldark!

‘Every day we reconstruct our lives out of the salvage of our yesterdays.’
- James Sallis, Death Will Have Your Eyes
