Be Ready
be ready for what is –
just a dream
but here we are
caught in a mindless scream
where the systems
have formed a deadly bond
i was lost to my well being –
when i was quite a bit younger
so now we walk
without a reason or a smile
every person we have ever known
is challenged by their design
we have crawled upon our bellies
just to show we care
be ready for what is –
just a dream
one with a deadly twist
fate is stalking us
and ticking items off its list
James Garratt – Thursday 20th October 2020
