What of today, tomorrow
or next week?
What about the weary,
the impoverished, and the meek?
What becomes the answer or
the validation that you seek?

Underneath the obvious,
elements of our life
remain. There,
known only to ourselves.
Or so we think.
We all have our secrets, and
sins we keep hidden
behind our facade.
Time sacrificed, we think,
our past a part of all
we have known.
The knowing is what hurts.
