Bystander

Always placing too much faith in the dramatic
then levelled with a dull surprise
My pupils reel to the back of my skull
to not look at the suits and the ties
And yet their throes still crawl into my head
The boundry falters
with all role-models now dead
Putrid stink of what's begun
pales before what can be done
And as the empty space devours it all
I look up at the sky to watch it fall
To watch it fall

You've been through this burning marsh before
Long has it been claimed your home
I suppose I'll soon come across your corpse
if in this I continue to roam
But it's become so boring now
You are the expert
with every why and how
So tired of the new recruits
yet amused with their drab pursuits
So as my world tilts, balanced on one notch
I find you in the wings prepared to watch
To watch it fall
