Lost amongst giants of steel
concrete and barely beating hearts.
One of a million rushing
with hidden agendas.
Vision tunneled to see…
only the destination.
True meaning
drowned by a sickening need
to move faster, do more…
Succeed…
to man’s expectations.
Swept along
by wave upon wave
of depraved humanity.
Tossed about
recklessly, while
coasting unaware
in the acrid sea
of life’s feeding frenzy.
Life rings scattered
haphazardly.
Forgotten…
Ignored…
Days blazing golden dawn
withers into shades of gray
for lack of seeing eyes.
A lone rose,
which struggled hard
to rise through corroded lands,
stands proud.
Flaunting her crimson gown
and emerald green stockings.
Until inevitably, she succumbs…
To mans pursuit of happiness.
