Persist

 

In the middle of chaos,

all ready to collapse,

I stand in the midst,

engulfed by dense mist.

Doors everywhere I see

but none ready to open.

Knocking of no avail, for

it is not meant to be mine

Friends I see from far, 

faces many and sounds vary.

But far I should stay, if not

shatters the friendly guise.

Monsters lurk behind,

changing faces with time,

neither you nor I can change

unseen forces that drive insane.

I persist till the end,

to see the fruits of confusion

for every deed brought to end

what it sowed, so did it reap.

Words failed long before

images collapsed at the back.

Facts hidden deep within, 

tumbled out to cascade.

I am but only a mute spectator,

so is everyone now..,

for when nature takes its course

there is no recourse.
