Runaway

                                               Innumerable human beings on planet


Innumerable human beings on planet
But humanity with a coupon.
Hearts heavy,leaden.
Sink the planet,little by little.
Innumerable are the sorrows
And the new pleasures are delayed,
like swallows.
But these too are false
like ghosts.
A shiny glass.
But empty.
And how can anyone
quench hist thirst?
Breaths like clock hands
fill the time.
Polluted and heavy.
They seek a remote island to cleanse.
A clear ideal to rest upon.
Innumerable human beings on planet.
But humanity with a coupon.
Rage is boundless sea.
Affection is an unknown land.
Not caring is more then enough.
Only the soul is left,to hope,
That someday it will rest,
will lighten.
