Fathers
By Swirly Skulls
Tonight, we are not a family
We are not strangers
We are not
even human beings
No longer are we connected
We are mere things
with open mouths
We do not have feelings nor justifications
Only
words
We are the reasons for bursting
The reasons of blazing
headaches
The yelling that makes the insignificance of all things
visible
Our faces are red and indistinguishable
Our tongues
wet and twisted
Our throats that scorch
the paradox of living
life truly
The mindlessness is overwhelming
The tired revealing
the mess of our destruction
But it is such a stupid thing,
the person
Welcoming spite, hate
by means of our restlessnes
Who
knew we could ever be so virulent
That we could ever be so alike
in our heap of disgust
Or so different from the models we've been
failing to be
Who knew things could fall apart so quickly
When
you really think of all these things
There is no sense
Our
beliefs do not matter
In the end we do what we feel
Even if
it is nothing at all
Over all things
There is a day
In
which that day I fantasize
Of us all being a reminder
In the
black moments when we realize
That
We live in time and nothing
else
Our music is no longer in rhythm
That we are no longer
connected

I am not a true believer in the concept of time, but I've had those nights where I felt everything but "connection". This spoke to me, Swirly. Welcome to DP.
