Here ready for my turn
To find what I may learn
When digging through the ruins of yesterday
Each writing lends a sign
Of a passion lost in time
Where freed was one simple step a brush stroke away
Carved in the wall
The essence that dissolves
A broken progress
Wasting our mistakes
Look back in time
The meaning’s left behind
Regressed unnoticed
Tensions ready to break
My silence can’t abide
With the voice that screams inside
For change to rise but won’t without a push
I’ll take my pen in hand
One chance to take command
This faceless ghost will tear this broken system apart
Carved in the wall
The essence that dissolves
A broken progress
Wasting our mistakes
Look back in time
The meaning’s left behind
Regressed unnoticed
Tensions ready to break
Cast to the side
Only sought to remember the spite
As we fray
There’s no growing this way
Forced perspective
Still reflective
Careless and disgraced
Masked existence
Sparks resistance
Clio steps ahead and takes my place
Carved in the wall
The essence that dissolves
A broken progress
Wasting our mistakes
Look back in time
The meaning’s left behind
Regressed unnoticed
Tensions ready to break
