September in October Series #1

We move in circles,

small and large abound;

we dream quiet thoughts

of peace, love, and harmony;

we equip children of the night

to fight our territorial wars;

we scream out to elder Statesmen
to adopt the new order;
we steal the day back quietly

from its innocent captors;

we sift through claims of disloyalties

while sitting at unpainted desks;

we live life too quickly while

learning there is nothing more;

we remember and forget

simultaneously all our fears;

we move in circles

that close and open at will.
