The coward

I have become of the cliffs that bathe and forget, I have welcomed Alzheimer’s and dementia, and that's how I am surviving this atomic party. I said stop twenty-five winters ago and I stopped following the end of the world on Twitter.

I went with the cleansing of bleach, and thus killing the sympathy that was left in this abused and crimeful body of mine. I let them carry the torch and swords to burn the king that has his army and empire. I let them shed their blood into the sewer and to scream the unfairness of the galaxy to burn ears because I had retired. 

I was too damaged and beaten down to try fighting once more. Too ashamed and frightened to acknowledge that honour and rules have been exiled. Too human to mourn the world but not do something about it.

I have locked myself in my bunker with champagne from fifteen years ago and forgotten about the almanac, I have lost all connection to that toxic road. Let other poor animals die for me, as there isn’t any reason to carry on and I shall go into hiding to rest. Let the child ask for the clemency that was denied to us as I have become blind, deaf and mute.

TA.
