Sideways

By RavenCross

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Everything is going under, No one can save you now. Millions of people standing in rows, Carbon copies of the next. Things are moving backward, Can you see clearly forward? After all they're your feet I'm stepping on. After all it's you that used to always go sideways. You were the base holding up all the sorry faces, All the sorry final traces. When the legs give in, You know it cannot stand. No one has any dignity anymore. All the revolutionaries were incarcerated. All their domiciles were incinerated. Knock down one and all the dominos fall down. The only thing left uncaged is your mind. Someday they'll learn to enthrall your volitions too. Someday you won't even want to go sideways.
