The Earthbound World Of Forgetful People Poem by Daniel Richards

When every question opens a thousand more
With no answer for the first you ask once more
And once again you open a thousand more
From this point you ask no more.
Behind every question lies a door, and
Behind each door lies a monster
Gigantic in proportion, excreting venom with
Its every move
So you run this gauntlet and loose your shoes,
Teardrops fall and hit the floor for you
To slip on and breath no more

You walk the sky of earthbound life
Emotions thwarted by what you see,
Below you a land of deceit and
A race of life that cannot see and its
Everything you do not need
The clouds circle and become grey, lighting flashes
Bringing the rain, then ferocious thunder roars
They are the keepers the king and his lack's
He decides on the ruse and the rest enforce his
Errors and lies of truth

The stars you see are people held high
The more money you make the higher you fly
The greens you see have begun to recede.
Turning bland from chemical poisons and
Arrogant ignorant rants.
The blues you see are turning dark from light
The life giver too all Is now infused with chemical poisons
And held by those with greed, so you have no right
To this life giver, in fact you pay to quench you first

This is a “freedom” no one deserves
But it’s a freedom they’ll die for first
I call this race the forgetful people for they forget
Just who they are and search only for what to be financially
Living in a dream like state of fallacy
Where truths are lies and the lies are grouped
They fall away from the ancient past and
Replace it with pseudoscience, but to them its gospel

The earthbound world of forgetful people
