Left Behind

Left Behind

Leave your bags and
Take what you’re wearing
Please stop crying
The noise in the sky is blaring
It’s intensifying

Leave your fears and
Take your pills
Hold your nerve
Conserve energy
We must leave

Alone, we are alone
Friends are absent
Shut away
And taken for granted
We must leave

Doodlebug emasculation
Altercation in the sky
Guessing the circulation
Never asking why
We must leave

Passing people
Looking at the ground
Misery surrounds
Throw a blanket over sound
We must leave

Debris and detritus
Absentee detainee
We must leave
Listen
We must leave

We have been left behind
We have been left behind
Take my hand
We have been left behind
