The Floundering Continues On
Deception lures us via innocence
It laughs at our ignorance
Dancing its schemes
Chanting its fallacies
As we are victims of the ruse
Too good to be true always is
But what was the motive
Failure on our part
Distraction from the goal
Chuckling it leaves us careening
Stuck in mammon's grip
Tired of the plummet
We latch on
But thorns shred and energy fades
Strength to battle wanes
Hysterically fear giggles
And hope collides with despair
Single motherhood leaves much undone
Everyday is a siege on peace
Angst renewed at sunrise
Doesn't dissipate at bedtime
Worn knees salty tears
Still alone
The fountain of dreams has dried
But the floundering continues on
