A Decision To Crawl

In this land 
We remain as dust
A million souls to one grain of sand
I crouch
I feel the people’s pain
Concealed in whispered voices
Each in turn offer no choices
To a man who’s had his time
I wait…
Too late to stop the world
As it spins its dizzy way behind
I have found my fate 
A peace, at one with mankind
Free of fear
A mere ghost of man
Though seeing more than most
Even in the dark the blind have vision
I watch an insect settle.
‘A decision to crawl’
It has more purpose than I…
I wait…
Just wait… Wait to die…
