Assessment.

Divine, despair,

What is this

Discontent that

Sits inside my brain?

Is it some

Consciousness of doom

Enfolds the life

I see within

The game?

Is it

Those that I need

And lose again:

The Understanding;

She with whom I grow;

The scarlet colt?

* * *

Am I

In love with Power:

Battalions grey

And Fleets that span the World?

Or is it

Double State:

Two Cultures and their Land

Which struggle to survive;

A Nation cries for shame

And with each cry

Pierces and pulls the heart

In which it grows?

Why does

Awareness of the One,

The Unity of All

No longer help

The Sorrow of

My Soul?

Or is it that the One

Brings Understanding, not

The cure for Knowledge:

I need

The strength to follow through,

Not blindness’ balm.
