The Ones We Lost

We tried
We fought
Nearly died
Or so we thought

We lost
We forfit
Very worn
We don't get it

Sometime soon
I hope I see you somewhere
And you look like something
Other than the thin air

The knowledge
Was too much
The empty
and smudged writing I always felt got me nowhere

Meant nothing more when we gave up application
But somehow left some script barely readable while we waited

It said come to me weary and come heavy laden
I won't weigh you down...

Often
I wish
I could remember
How to forget
Often
I wish
I could surrender
Often
I wish
Damnation
Desecration
Destruction of the temple
Who could forget
How often the story is told
How often I recall
The destruction of oppressors
In the might of the water walls
As they came apart
on top
of them all
All this being said and/or written
Brokenness is for all of us
The ones running the oppressed into the sea
The ones running from the oppressors
Wake up dead man, rise from the dead

Concrete

I'm surrounded
Drop Cealings
Drywall
Cubes
Cars
Doors
Locked Down
Sidewalks and the Parking Lot
