#poem, SUN DRENCHED TROPICS

SUN DRENCHED TROPICS

Sunburnt skin
and bloodshot eyes,
wading in shallow water,
dirty feet have crossed through dirty sand,
forgetting all the fairy tales they’ve spoken.
Lies, confusion,
confusion, lies…

A figure,
(perhaps a man?)
rises from the shark infested ocean.
On his shoulders,
trembling from the icy cold of
sun-drenched tropics,
sit the forgotten,
the hungry,
the beautiful,
the ignorant
and the fools.
Where to my laughing friends?
The foolish ask..
As far as I can tell.
we’re on our way to hell…
