Majority Position

Post by audiofool » Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:23 am

A voice of reason
Said, "Thought is treason"
I assumed
The majority position

I was listing to the left
Now I'm sinking on the right
Can you help
My condition?

The stakes were never higher
I'm shopping for a buyer
No one's
Showing interest

Is there a market for compassion
Now that fakery's in fashion?
Which cadaver
Is cleverest

Once upon a distant dream
I was a marvel
The world
In your eyes

I stumble for
A light switch
Waiting for my
October surprise

The voice of sanity
Spoke to my vanity
"To be is to conform
To the truth inside"

Behind the orange curtain
Uncertainty is certain
Between us
The infinite divide

Once upon a gilded dream
I was a marvel
A wonder
To behold

Now the lustre's fading
The wind
And the weather's
Turned cold.

Thank you, heinzs. You are kind. I have been in a political mood lately. Not despairing, yet. :hello:
