Creepy Crawler                                                          12/4/2015

Slip, trip, and fall

We either learn to walk

Or lay back down

And crawl.

Risking neither

Bump nor bruise

Safe, satisfied

Dull and dumb.

I did not know to ask

So I sat on my hands

Wasting my time

And dying every day.

Worry kills

And fear saps our strength

Weakening the spirit

One doubt at a time.

Right now

And right next door

The world teeters on madness

All because

We will not see.

The poles have shifted

And institutions crumble

Imploding and dissolving

Outside in

And inside out.

The kingdom long since

Tilted over

Tumbled upside down

Where right is wrong

And wrong is right.

Unraveling before our eyes

Every platitude and foolish assumption

Knotted up like a pretzel

In relativistic lies. 

The past is over

And words are only words

No matter what we think

Or what we say.

The truth

And the heart

Matter more

Because whatever we do

We become.
