3Uncanny Defeat
Ashley Harrison
Jester in the court of lies
Enlightened by the world I despise
Seeking what's never sought,
Slipping into all this tormented thought:
We helplessly invert common creativity –
Circulating the unknown,
Amongst concrete idealism.
Watching with cold hearts,
Our children weep
Helplessly turning to accept defeat.
Promises turn to lies -
Making us rethink the definition of reality
Reality's reality is real,
But realistic reality is an utter lie
Within this is where I live -
It's who I am…
I am the weeping child.
I watch with a lead heart.
My promises unconsciously turn to meaningless lies.
Within the world I loathe,
I am forced to spread the unknown to the unwilling.
And all of this to prove the feelings I still hold.
