Hostages 

Such an intense waiting 

for such a profound disappointment  

Destiny someday arrives 

and present collides with the future 

So deceptive a notion  

so misleading and false 

So full of contradictions 

so tedious and flat 

They’re stuck in their daily hustle  

and will try to drag you too 

cutting corners and dreams 

until life is due 

Insomniac zombies 

that ignore they’ve been tamed 

their own hostages 

they believe much they’ve gained.
