Analysis of Exiled in alienation



Exiled in alienation
of our wasting lives
loss of community that never was
through the circles of this wheel of life
that which coils around
ephemeral ripples
beneath our feet
peels away the onion skins

Through the tides of roaming tides
against the crumbling rock
the sea that moves
through marbled shores
in the language of our dreams

Mirrored pools of darkened flare
strangers in an estranged land              
home is where the heart lies bare
standing still as humming birds
the Stillness becomes alive
displaced through history of our lives

To the dignity which is a birthing right
farthest from our gilded gates
and the cesspools of our age
stand determined to that that which push
and breaks the living spirit
