LOST IN THOUGHT

R.M. ENGELHARDT POET AUTHOR WRITER

LOST IN THOUGHT

Words flash
Across the mind
Inspiring something
From somewhere
Unknown

The vision

From a free world
Unseen

But no one
Is home

Nobody cares

The audience made
Up of trends & false
Dialects dead & buried
Long ago

Words

That the human
Mind cannot yet
Comprehend

Forgotten

For you speak
In a new language
Of life forms, love
& empathy lost
& estigushed its
Beauty & truth too
Powerful to understand

Words that demolish
Poverty & violence
Evil & fascists

Lies & monsters

Without surrender

So instead?

They sit quietly
Comfortably in
Their chairs
Knowing that
Their souls lack the
Fire to be free

For
They fear
Retribution
They fear
Accountability
They fear

That face
In the mirror
Every single day
Which says

Death

And yet
While lost
In thought
They are still all
Coming for
You anyways

Even if you
Never stood up
Alone

Or at all
