Where Did We Go Astray? (Poem)
Where did we go astray?
Your love was my love, yet mine was non-existent.
The burden was too great to express in economic sentiments.
If I may, let me explain…
From the moment our feet touched these shores,
A wedge was placed at the intersection of my hope.
I hoped for a recalibration of past sentiments,
A sanctuary of beauty and bliss.
Never could I have imagined a love like this.
I tried my best to shield you from her disease;
I was whipped and chained for our shared goals.
The process broke my spirit.
You meant the world to me beyond public hearts;
Why would they destroy our flame?
“Madness,” I tell you — “Madness,” says the Doctor.
The social disease of humanity is cursed forever.
Her eyes will not see the light of day.
Her capitalism will have to pay before her zenith can be reached.
My self-worth will never again be compromised;
The sociological narrative will place us back together.
The water boat was God’s way of restoring our hearts.
A few years of blended chaos never hurt any real warrior.
Where did we go astray?
Your love was my love, yet mine was non-existent.
