falling hard

By Jonas

in consecrations of dream States
and deceptive totalities of
perfection
in perception we are slave
to the per capita
i

and the sack-cloth worn in mourning and despair
where
everyday is another day
where
we should be glad to be alive
is a badge of the courage of enduring
and hope to be free
