Expectancy

Another day with those from past Another look Another word Take an image Become another. It's not you they want You don't fit the bill. Without a payment they desire possession Ownership comes at a cost to others But at no cost to the possessor. Thoughts and impressions based on desires Desires born out of images planted Truth has been corrupted Reality is no more A dream has replaced reality The eyes can no longer see And the mind conceives only dreams. The whip comes out It's disguised as reason Words come forth as bitterness Sweet comfort is found in sarcasm. Possession comes at a price The expense is born by others It must be paid! Demands are made and they MUST be met! Love exists with her hostile neighbours Confusion through bitter-sweet Draw from the well both fresh and salt water And bring forth from rivers both life and death!
