Almost Finished

The cell is quiet once again

The world has rained it's sadness upon my chest.

Time for him

in this condemed

nation is almost over.

It's bitter sweet fruit I reluctantly swallow

As it's forced down my soul.

A reminder this day

the forces display

their power

And remind me how insignificant I am.

Alone I dwell in the house of the blind,

connected to one by proximity

And the rest by thought.

Let not my pain strange the joy

Of time moving and exhibiting its change.

For my brother's time

And mine

Is almost finished.
