You and I,
Travelers on the same boat,
Left stranded, rudderless,
Hope drifted, afloat.
The shore seems a distant dream, Mirage like,
Playing, pawing in reality,
Though a false respite it may seem.
The sun burns over our heads,
The salty winds burn our wounds,
The hunger...the thirst,
The darkness, before our eyes,
In broad daylight.
No, we know,
No one is coming to rescue us,
No man or divine intervention,
A watery burial awaits in attention.
The sea, like a wanting lover,
Flows, overflows,
Eager to meet with the land,
Just as disappointed as us,
For a lost horizon.
We know,
Now is the moment to let go,
To forget the dreams and joys of reaching a destination,
It was meant to be,
Our destination was the journey.

Walking Vegetatives
Minds dazed
Eyes glazed
Memories erased
New ones fed through tubes
Lying in the corners of our brains
With no values, no use
Plastic. Silicon. White gold
Fast lives dictated by dark hearts
Walking the dead beat
What was once called a beautiful sun
Is now just heat
Cunning guile
Innocence lost, been a while
Deceptive smiles
Breaking out on the corner of our lips
Like rashes
Bodies smeared with bloodied ashes
Relief, comes now, only in distant flashes
Thought forgot
Sold and bought
Debating blindspot
Reason frozen in a tumorous knot
Opportunism running through the veins
Sensibilities dried up in a clot
Unengaged authoritative
Convenient objective
Provisionally prohibitive
Lying in the corners of a dark underground
An eager to please submissive
Walking vegetatives
Breathing through heavy machines
Injecting cocoon vaccines
By going to sleep is how
Now our day begins
Eyes glazed
Memories erased
New ones fed through tubes
Lying in the corners of our brains
With no values, no use
Plastic. Silicon. White gold
Fast lives dictated by dark hearts
Walking the dead beat
What was once called a beautiful sun
Is now just heat
Cunning guile
Innocence lost, been a while
Deceptive smiles
Breaking out on the corner of our lips
Like rashes
Bodies smeared with bloodied ashes
Relief, comes now, only in distant flashes
Thought forgot
Sold and bought
Debating blindspot
Reason frozen in a tumorous knot
Opportunism running through the veins
Sensibilities dried up in a clot
Unengaged authoritative
Convenient objective
Provisionally prohibitive
Lying in the corners of a dark underground
An eager to please submissive
Walking vegetatives
Breathing through heavy machines
Injecting cocoon vaccines
By going to sleep is how
Now our day begins
