Trapped
in the machinery
enmeshing his pain
Orphaned on
the loading dock
of yesterday’s fame
Laden
with the icons
of perfidy’s haze
Wandering through
the desert
— of destiny’s maze

This is a poem of dark entanglement and imminent doom. A sad but all too real view of life from the dark side
I've been in a Rod Serling mood lately. Thanks.
Love Rod Serling.
A fine poem, Kurt.
Thanks Jerry.
Kurt, this poem captures disillusionment with precision—machinery, icons, desert—all circling a self trying to survive the maze. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
