When things defy all odds
and
you've run out of examples
truth falls apart
and
certainty is destroyed:
Life falls onto crutches.
Strengthened by futility,
reality becomes a masquerade -

and
darkness is employed;
Life remains on crutches.
Centuries are lost fighting
a battle on a sinking ship
which ends when the oceans do
and
as if untold,
Life is thrown back into the trenches.
Life is no longer crippled
but has now shed their cocoon
a butterfly
once again
able to walk
their own sun-flowered path -
death is cheated
a plan is spoiled.
Yet,
no one thought to thank
The Crutches.
