Waiting for the Fall
Genetic Identity
Wild Branch's personality
Deviating from the staid family roots
Tranquility juxtaposed with insanity
Conflicted with Hyena howls
Of Addictive personalities
And Schizophrenic tendencies
Wailing cries of alcohol induced fantasies
Brush strokes of angry outbursts
Paint a picture that deviates
From perfect images
The family longs to parlay
As we dangle tenuously
From our dysfunctional branch of the tree
With fragile tendrils of stability
Waiting for wind gusts
Blowing from Satan's castle
That dooms its victims
With a future of clouded vision
And a skewed sense of reality
The cries and wails
Of the fallen fill our ears
We weep tears of futility
And feel consumed with despair
The fear wells within
Of who will be the next to fall,
From the slowly dieing tree
Disintegrating before us.
