Yearn

by nicholas-foster

I know now. Redemption hangs in the balance between the fertile crescent and the great pyramids. The Genesis and the deconstruction. The dowsing of the flame and the re-combustion. We're all promised what we won't find. That's why you build up hope and waste your time. Your position as protagonist will have you looking for exceptions, but we're all just clay living in the third dimension. Clocks twirl and sing to remind you to keep doing what you're doing, but you would anyway, so who are they fooling ? They're just as useless as the dollar or the president, or the concept of rules to our residence. And you can't shake the feeling that removing yourself would be best. Though you're probably right, because our stagnant plight is leading to the roots and dirt. (It's clear as day) But no one can stomach this, frightened and pissed, so with new ideals or meanings we will flirt. Be free.
