What We Are
And what we are not
Gods, angels
No demon
But smiling
Silently lost
Downcast, or humorous
Hiding souls
Our causes
Tucked within
For the final time
Our sons and daughters may see
While the sickness and the powerful
Seek to grind us under heel
Our hates I’ll manifest as rage
But like the thinking thorn
Wields artful purpose to shake
Not fruit from a tree
But what ought, what must from “may be”.
Watch the world die
Under clear windless skies
And when it passes
And I live under different stars.
By J.W.H. Hobbs.
