Disappointment

Brittle bones,
The scattered remain,
And rain that makes it mud.

When I was a child I played in mud,
I asked to see the world,
The secondary movement of a minute hand.

The reflections of meaningless begotten,
A sacrificial lamb,
That which perceives all but reality.

What a fucking disgrace
