broken family homes
replaced with
pixel scene dramatics
fantastical innocent childhoods
warped by
relativity’s harsh experiences
wishes dreamt into aspirations
surrendered, to
bitterness of anticipated failures,
hope rooted ambition
forgotten
within weary submission
doubt’s stuttering verse
ageing
passion’s youthful verve
time lost regretting, floundering
our
potential: for new beginning
