Poetry: Existence theories

by C. Parson

Wax Figures




Under an open sky of broken dreams

An angel with black and tattered wings

Whispers of death and morbid things




We as wax figures are molded

Into the vague shapes of human beings

Without all those thoughts and unnecessary feelings




Breath is needed but seldom wanted

Our dreams and our thoughts are always haunted

By sneers and snickers that scarred and taunted




See this world for what it is

A cold, dark place with nothing to give

And it's oh so tragic we have only this life to live
