Sincerity

TalkingMime09

When did an ocean of self interest

Wash away this beach?

The sands drifted into the vast plane

Of blue, beyond reach.

At day, grains shine earnestly

Beneath the rising rays;

But the moon shifts the tides high,

Thirsting to seize more away.

When did these waves of apathy

First break upon the shore?

Land vanishes beneath the sea,

Lost to the world forevermore.
