Broken Lives: Poem

.

Broken Lives

.

There was her and you and me

All of us and him too:

There was life and strife and

Euphoria that rang true.

.

There was the eternal link

Between broken lives

A glance was often enough to make

Anybody understand.

.

We are those who should had been

We could have been

Now we follow another dream

To see and be seen.

.

Those with broken dreams

Invisible, transparent, often at ease with

Hypocrisy's social discourse.

.

Now, to let life run its fevered course,

Now, to gather and sift and try to understand

The whys of broken lives,

Strand by strand by strand.
