Coyote...

life

Views: 189

Feeding upon …random opportunities…

Upon those, expecting ...somehow...

To be …given life …back…

Willing to be… down played…

Degraded prospects, expected…

Ready to trade …life…

To face danger… on a living safari…

All in… for the chance …at winning the lottery…

Playing, at all cost …for a new identity…

Trading cash/family treasures

Valuables / surrendering pride, self respect…

Perhaps virtue/even values…

Those who must…

Parlay, for their lives…

Have come to realize…

The futility… of commanding …a fair shake…

Challenging death …at every deal, made…

Unraveling prospects …for the success…

 …treacherous commerce…

What else, can …one expect…

Undoubtedly…

Witnessing the lost souls,

Along this journey…

Passing the vacant eyes…

Knowing …all to soon…

They must pass in review…

Run …and hide…

From those who despise

The very sight …of you…

Those who, by no fault of their own…

Have fallen to the tides

…of changing circumstance..

Those, who… no longer care…

Much less …will come to see

The time will come

When …they, too must dance…

To the tune …of desolation…

Where pain and death…

Become, just as familiar…

 Of so many unanswered prayers

So, many will …lose hope…

Defeated …and destitute…  

Consider …suicide…

Rather than continue

This… struggle …to survive…

 

Amidst

Wreckage of so many lives

…along the way…

The dead, wounded …and dying souls

Of so many families

…of vulnerable human beings

Forced compromise… that…

Which overturned their worlds

Destroyed the stability …in their lives

Making each day …and every night…

A losing battle… in the struggle

Beyonder…

Than the will …of most…

 

Nightmares

Where …we are considered

…the living hosts…

Where… even…  

Travelling alongside…

 

The father, son…  

…and …Holy Ghost…

 

The suffering …immeasurable…

Targeting, the desperate, poor …the weak

Cold blooded, serpentine …

Lurking in the shadows …between…

Todays nightmares, yesterdays truths

 …and tomorrows dreams

…there…

Feeding …without mercy…

 

…Coyote…

Started out, thinking of the people smuggled across the border... but drug dealers ...do likewise... anything which takes humanity from us can fit this...
