.. in time ..

In times like this, not then, not here, nor there,
When life has given rope to tie the noose
When hope replaced with cold despair
When neither right nor wrong is choice
When taking breath is too much to bear
When simple moments become confused
When time presents its fruits unfair
When pleasantry hears no one amused
When gasping, you forfeit to feed no air
When flags of existence emerge bruised
When that pulsating member begins to tear
When with the earth, you long to roost

With waxen wings we stumble forward
Never ceasing a brainless course
Why then do we continue so?
When to melt, takes on magnetic force?
