Do you wonder, as you wander, 

about the dreams left along the way? 

   Scattered thoughts, they still 

remind you of the reasons why 

you remained sheltered from the

delusions, paying so little attention 

to the obvious. 

   A little while from now, less than 

expected (more than you know), 

what was left over from a generation 

of pride and greed, misfortune and 

disease will continue to haunt you. 

   It always does.

   The politics appall you. There is no 

honour, not in shame nor the 

cowardice within.  Not now.
