Let Us Go To The Finish Beloved

For you

I walk abandoned paths

Hoping to

Bring refreshments

You thirst

Hunger for belief

Regarding worth

I come

To break your affair with being numb

Behold

You’re in a chokehold

Swearing all is well

Darkened lights

You sigh unable to tell

And I’ve come

To slap you awake

However necessary

Get you to move

Anything instead of surrender

Rise.
