Poetry / The American Dreamed

State of Broke Refuse

The Heap

Littering the paper streets
Broken vessels
Being evaporated of willingness
Being dumped onto the heap
Refuse to believe

Purporting to be recyclers
Broken vessels
Being prideful glass shards
Being found emptied containers
Refuse to confess

Piling up before the furnace
Broken vessels
Being opaque of humility
Being self righteous liars
Refuse to change

Refusing our state of broke refuse
Refusing our broken vessels
Refusing we broke them
Refusing we are lost
Refusing the way

Refusing our state of broke refuse
Refusing to surrender
Refusing to confess
Refusing to change
Refusing the truth

Scared to death to be found
Where we truly are
Littering the paper streets
Purporting to be recyclers
Piling up before the furnace
