Functional Autist - Most Precious Blood

Witness this: a mortal man absorbing all one can take

Pointlessly opposing a perfect pipedream’s wake

Perfectly honed to mar the lives of men

Immutably bound to its yoke again

Harboring a refusal to learn

The tide sees fit to carry astern

The stubborn sea commits to churn

The motherless aimlessly yearn for instructions without scorn

They sever the tethers which their arms adorn

As our fathers commit to learn to lose to life and not to mourn

Conscience germinating pangs of guilt by the score

Grasping at life’s fragmented wreckage refusing to wash ashore

Warring with diluted love’s attempt to scar the mind

Where is the dream?

Gone and left behind
