A fourth of my bones bow so low to me
That they break their backs in my feet
Yet they don’t uphold me in high reverence
So I tremble and shiver in standing to think it defeat
Without a battle how will I be held mighty and grand
I’m blind to see that every superior emotion is one of mocking brand
But there was no war waged
Even when sides were staged
Just a pre-occupied mind which in it’s care is deliberate and furious
Wafting it treacherous, bewildering and astoundingly curious

I fell in love with the last two lines. I like this piece. Thanks for this.

Our minds wage war with our own futility. Thank you for your compelling expression of this deep and tragic fixation.
