Discarded

By Ocean of Truth

A dark, deep lake
       With no life-guard on duty

Shark infested waters
       Where it pays to be savage

Dangerous to the naive
       Home to the misunderstood

Like a pack of wolves
      Outcast from the whole

Lost in space and time
       Hovering around a single mass
Like an asteroid turned moon
       Of a looming black planet

            Discarded to the depths of the universe
                      
                       Never to be seen by the untrained eye
 
              Or heard by the ears of the non-believers

We are lost
     Some have found

   Yet stay to pass the word

That shall never be understood
