In the land of the wasteful (2)A Poem by Butch Decatoria
In the land of the wasteful
The flesh is bound to despairing Time like a mosquito Caught in Amber Unmovingly All dreams dreamt away Are as transient as its blood Orange clarity In the mind Of thee, those in the land Of the wasteful... Pain is as hollow as The uncaring When already the broken heart Has let go, passed long ago Since childhood's end Not having known To recognize Or find oneself In the beauty of a world We played pretend In the land of waiting For our sadnesses to end Waking up alone After all In the land of ungrateful men.
