AbolishedA Poem by Tricia O'Brien-She watches falling birds descend to the cold hard earth -She watches the broken tree limbs plunge to the damp saddened hillside -She watches dreams nosedive into bottomless wishing-wells -She watches flowers drown in knotted weeds and wilt away -She watches as promises are made and left to rot -She watches lives forgotten and hope decompose -She watches colossal waves devour and conquer, leaving thunderous wreckage drifting aimlessly -She watches young cast aside to fend for themselves blindly -She watches the life force plucked from ones being, tossed out, trampled upon and mocked -She watches a bond violently raped, a trust seized against ones will -She watches what was once her life scatter and dissolve © 2015 Tricia O'Brien |
