Reject

Mayday mayday! 

This ship has sprung a leak

So many miles from shore

And not seaworthy I think


Where do we turn now?

Once our fingers can no longer plug? 

What life support will be left? 

Once the water fills our lungs? 


So many pieces of machinery

Moving in almost perfect symmetry

Each part plays their role

While I'm idling and overheating. 


Overwhelmed with what I haven't done, 

I'm petrified to move even an inch. 

How can it all come crashing down

When you never created anything? 


So many words to call a man bad

So many reasons to inflict this torment

He deserves it, he surely does. 

What reason do we have to forgive? 


A magnitude of isolation

Can hit you like a warm wind

But the humidity, they say

Is what drives you insane. 


Never bothered with so much

Always waited, waiting, wait! 

The time just passed, so close. 

You should have been here sooner.
