winter's may

 Winter’s May and splinters stay

Winners cave and here’s the stray

Sinking into my skin of mine

Leaving private world behind

Here we go, on the loose to the zoo

Of heroic expectations of our nation

Of colliding collaboration that can’t be right

No, wrong wrong wrong! All we do all the time

Babies to adults, we are in constant rhyme

We are in constant prevail, in our skin a masked veil

What you is what you believe, but not in your mind

What you fear is lonely, what you think is holy

What we want is solely a chance to have our say

But it will never come, the day we do it will be

Laughable, tolerable, compressed to equal naught

What you forgot is pleasure and the ability to think free

What you remember is just step forward and be

Like all that are around thee

Therefore protected from blasphamy

And routed towards energies that propel you forward

But won’t you want the day back

When May was spring and flowers  bloomed

The only things around that can sing to their own tune

And even then not they 

Want to open their eyes to May

For flowers are perfumed no more and

Candied roses stand near the door

As guards and have no thorns for protection

This our nation, this our lesson

We don’t mind it, for we are mindless

And some  can say we are sensing

Only that which was before us not above or below us

We are here as guardians, we are here to protect

The plan, the ultimate, the very pinnacle of existence

That makes the creativity and ability to smile

Slowly go away

In our winter’s May.
