Confused
more by the day.
The sounds and lights,
the bright array.
Once composed,
now gone insane.
Nothing rational
left to say.
In the darkness
chaos reigns.
Tricks our eyes,
infects our brains.
We sought systems
to tame
a world we couldn’t change.
Now, it’s fallen,
devolved into disarray,
while nature stayed the same.
Who is crazier?
The one who quits,
or the one who plays the game?
Who wins?
The one who leaves,
or the one who stays?
It’s getting harder
and harder to say.
These days
it’s getting pretty tempting
to walk away.
Set sights
somewhere along a mountain chain
and let the world
sing its sad refrain.
Sounds and lights,
now brighter in the day.
There might be away
after all this
confusion and pain.
After all,
we weren’t meant to remain.
