Falling Down Poem by Robin Davies
Falling Down
Falling down
Falling down
The people trust
The people drown
The wings of life
The silk of death
The beating heart
The icy breath
The first that fall
Their aim is short
They never hoped
They never thought
The second down
Have shot too far
They too soon trust
In ghost and star
Down and down
They fight for air
With sinking dreams
And rusting prayer
The last then left
The ones who swam
Alive in peace
Less lie and scam
The ones who breathe
At last anoint
Their tired minds
Their lasting point
In time they too
Soon humbly drown
With smile and grace
They're falling down
Although I follow a theme when writing, I find the outcome is usually quite abstract and I don't mind what people take from my writing. The themes of this poem are religion, death and the general struggle of minorities, but you don't have to take this meaning from it. Take whatever meaning from it that means the most to you.
This is my first poem that I've ever put out into the world (or indeed shown anyone) , so I hope someone likes it and that it's reasonable.
