Love's Love in a Unloving Time

banging locks in dawn and sorrow
television asked what is in for tomorrow
my life seems far apart from arrowed
as these complaints seem selfishly narrow

give me a sign you'll qualm my fusion
you'll stop my threshold, my bloodied illusion
melancholyish bane-foolish, New York's confusion
when another bird dies from all the conniption

our "vanity fair" lacking luxury and styling
when visions are blurred with people dying
we huddled our loved ones, to comfort their crying
with prayers of hope, to god(s) we're reciting

ignorant, blissfulness, addictive, bias
shameful, uneventful as expressing my solace
everything as hatred, everything inside us
"nothing as an innocent?" we ask, shouting our loudest...
