slip sideways

 
I'm losing my mind I feel it
slip sideways and look back
tears flood my eyes for a man I don't know
only well enough to touch his soul

I digress...
this is how it goes these days
a collective stream of thought
where I connect on a level not seen but known

I have to test each soul
to discover if they be family or foe
enemies are always at the gates
pulling on my thoughts
pushing in trying to pick through memory

sitting down at negotiations
war is ever-present
for what?

POWER

I will prevail
I'm unlike any ever seen before

lonely yes...
guarding my fortress
holding a message of peace

there will be none today
