Inert

We are still.
We will go no further.
There will be no more strings
Stretched through these fingers.

No more no more.

We are waiting innocently again for
The one who will save us.
Such a dangerous one always
Raised in desperate hope surely awaits us.

It seems I am too knowing...
I can't like you when I see
The things you are prepared to do.

Off you go.
As you think there is no more.

People become forgetful after sixty years. Of course, here in the USA, nobody likes to study history, so we get the same sort of monsters every four years. Funny, this latest looks like a Newt.

Wow, this is wonderfully ominous; the mood makes me think of Yeats' "Second Coming"!
