SHAME!
Shame! Shame on you. Shame on me.
Shame that even with open eyes I could not see.
Unworthy of affection, your sense of rejection.
An unfortunate end that did not have to be.
Dishonour, disgrace, continued condemnation.
Deflation is fuelled by foolish sedation.
My mind was open, but my eyes averted.
Where hope once soared, deflation reverted.
The bond of trust broken, set free, set to flee.
A painful emotion, an unfortunate place to be.
Where did I fail, that we ended up here?
The community cries, ignominy!
How do we rebuild? Fix what is done?
Push back up to the sky, the falling sun?
Hang back the moon, let the stars have their fun?
When all I can see, is what I have become.
I thought I knew better; that I stood against the man,
I did not think it through, it was a nowhere plan.
Now the man’s pressing down with all its might.
Admit defeat, a lesson to learn. I have lost this fight.
