Lost
So many paths
Forks in the trails
Never sure which one to take
Which one leads me home
A twisted spider’s trap
Captured in the web
No escape, just surrender
To the predator within
Where am I?
I feel so alone
Insanity rules
Our fragile land
Where are we?
Wandering off course
Through the tangled vines of horror
Paths vanish beneath our feet
--
The canopy above crowds out the sky
No reference points, no stars, to guide us onward
All around, thick jungle, no clearings to be seen
Only snarling starving beasts in all directions
Uncaring feeders on the innocent
Greedy for the blood
No restraint pursuing riches
As we vanish into the darkness
Like tiny newborn minnows
Lured into the trap
By a system fixed against us
Opportunities seized
By the monsters who have led us
Into the gaping maw
Of the Beast
The crazed orange monster
We are so, so lost.
