I am beginning to realize stoicism
Is not sustainable
But with odds and dollar bills stacked against us
Who would laugh at the weight of the world?
If atlas were to take a breath
His hands would tremble and his burden would falter
his lungs would be crushed
So what is left
Unable to smile, cry to weep or stay silent
What is left
Do we try anyway?
Sisyphus’s boulder and resentment for the mountain
Do we let it go?
Drop off the face of the world
watch the cemetery grow
justify ourselves
with remembrance?
Do we fight?
****** broken bruised do we
Try to ****** the world and the state
It stands under
Eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind
Do we rebuild in the dark?
Hands reaching, searching, seizing
An instinct to claim
The force to destroy
Is dragging us away like a dog tied to an oxcart
Our only option is to
Leave evidence in the drag path
Hoping someone will find us again
