In Time That Is

To kill the
messenger
History
repeats itself
Thinking
heads in sand
will hide them
from
the
Truth
I just want to tear at my skin
free myself from it
if only for a moment
in time that is
never to be
again
To run from
the chains
a debunked society
has placed
around my
heart
Thinking
they can
somehow
escape
the Truth
as
History
repeats itself
in time that is
never to be
again.
