Off Road

Off Road

 

a place where things vanish

hopeless in a search for new life

spin across this planet like a fireball

consumer lost in a trajectory

 

hopeless in a search for new life

discover abandoned shoe on path

consumer lost in a trajectory

disposable remnants of human beings

 

discover abandoned shoe on path

thin veil of automobile tire soot

disposable remnants of human beings

enough cans for the roadside garbage

 

thin veil of automobile tire soot

breathed in with micro plastics

enough cans for the roadside garbage

signs of apathy on the grass

 

breathed in with micro plastics

choking sounds of a generation

signs of apathy on the grass

indignant glance of silent scorn

 

choking sounds of a generation

frantic efforts appearing redundant

indignant glance of silent scorn

pretend the need to be in love

 

frantic efforts appearing redundant

for a heart bruised not broken

pretend the need to be in love

walk alone by the busy highway

 

for a heart bruised not broken

waiting for a touch to heal

walk alone by the busy highway

hitchhike away from this oblivion

 

waiting for a touch to heal

accepted for the person that is

hitchhike away from oblivion

a place where things vanish
