“Do they not think that their words have weight?”
There has got to be a face that is read for what it is
Should time really account for innocence lost?
I mean, to lose that which you left behind in childhood and go back to it again, aware
God knows how much I’ve stored, meaningful in its meaningless description
And how much I’ve discarded, only to be met with it again, in another form
A feather in the stream
Trying to regain in flight what shed it
“The mysterious weakness of men’s faces”
“Smooth and smiling faces everywhere, but ruin in their eyes.”
Had I expression enough, to walk you through it
It’d feel like I’ve robbed you of His revelation
My bones shiver, my voice trembles, as this thought becomes concrete
Pale as dusk, disillusionment; two-fold
Subjective and objective truths
are not enough
Lovely writing though dark thoughts !

The last few sentences – conveys that there is really little hope. Am so glad you took this positively. Am always apprehensive while commenting.

I most surely appreciate apprehensive commenting. Yes, you are right, that was the gist of it. But instead of concluding on the fact that there is indeed, little hope, I left on the note that what we are doing isn’t enough to get by either. We kind of need to look further, read, educate ourselves and then change our mindset to come to our own realizations.
Will always take comments like yours positively, your thoughts and ideas are valued in this blog(:
