Non Conformity


a light rain fell as I was sleeping
filling in the holes I had left open,
a town moves in the direction of its people
refusing to cater any longer to strangers,
a feline lays on its side licking as it
taunts a robot cleaning the carpet,
loose fitting spectacles fall to the ground unnoticed
as the wearer concentrates on a foreign actor film,
tears of joy roll down the face of a cancer patient
when ringing the bell in the hallway of completion,
threats of invasion comes from our allies who
can no longer tolerate our ignorant isolation,
losers stand on the scales of change hoping
their diet plans are sufficient for the politicians,
we look into the space above our heads and
see the emptiness of stars distant and close while
others see horizons of opportunities and sacrifice,
will power lends credence to the battle with
our own minds but for others it is merely a
religious event where giving in is necessary
and essential to one's hope for an everlasting life,
we dig trenches around our tents to divert
the water than has fallen throughout the night,
awakening at first light to confirm we are dry,
our fires, made from the wood of forgotten thoughts
cook the meals we are to feast on daily as our
actions dictate nonconformity towards the rest
of society that would have us become dependant,
upon our leaders who want to make all the decisions,
a light rain fell while i was off sleeping
opening up the holes filled in yesterday.
