Scaffolding

Another year of lost pace
In a new kind of stagnance

No lumens left to show 
No light no hope
To hold back the water
And those who possess means
To stem the tide
Deny their imprimatur

All of the scaffolding 
Superimposed 
No wonder we are still
Ineffectual

All of the scaffolding 
Superimposed 
And all of this is not
Sustainable

In contrary

Explosions will fill the sky
They continue to deny
They chose not to see
Those devoid of free agency

In contrary the world is a cold dark place
Humanity will wash itself away

Superimposed
No hope
