Without a Star to Steer By 
C By Brad Corallo
Word count 114

The vague paths of the current journey, 
seem to vanish and reappear, less defined
 somehow diminished.  
Backgrounds and soundtracks, pulled out of tune.
Blue sky vistas, slowly decay
leaving noisome grey oppressive atmospheres behind. 
Jingle jangle obtrusive voices
squawk from radios and TVs.
Revealing truth as an unwinnable shell game.
The politics of hatred and
the hatred of politics.
A pursuit populated by opportunistic, grasping vermin. 
Leadership lost, 
like a fragmentary memory of youth.
And, as heavy sighs release,
night rolls in.
obscuring the Earth with creeping pestilence.
What remains?
 Hope, like a match flaring in the darkness.  
At least, for a little longer.
