Albatross



Albatross

Little Land in the sand, frightened faces oh so bland
Arrogance and guilt your quintessential quilt
Prisoners of the past, hostage to the future
Intractable enemies near and far, your destruction their investiture

Are you the remnants or the new beginning?
Still haunted by the depths of the death’s head lightning
Had to run when you could barely crawl
Scarred and toughened, these days into overprotective stall

Turning inward, your children yearn to be free
Raised from birth to be defenders of middle class morality
Surrounding all, that barrier of the battered
Allowing nobody past unless they’ve been formatted

Do I judge you harshly, for I merely express experienced reality?
Those who despise you for your suspiciousness, arrogance and superficiality
Pointing fingers is your game, pessimism your name
I sit upon my hill and see the generosity, you’re an enigmatic dichotomy
