my first attempt at poetry in a long time

[hanako345]

i am falling down the rabbit hole of distortion
in a world where life is empty
and emptiness is everything
here in the halo of all shit
i see flowers bloom
and corn harvested
and when the corn fields moan
and the flowers wilt
it is a lack of talent
brightened to make a people of lies
and deception

i know that it goes
by the east and west
the conservative sheltered and bitter
on both sides
but as the story goes
and flows
it forms a new path
called history
and a flagrant world of emptiness

it is emptiness which fills our blood
fills our hearts, our buds
every flower comes from it
every beast both comes and ends in it
but the shadows
they grow in it
and it fills the world
every day

and i fall down the rabbit hole into emptiness
no more craziness to be found
its been cleared out for apartments and war memorials
its been tossed aside
and turned to emptiness
in every form

so when someone asks me what is life
and i think, "emptiness"
i rethink and say "hard"
so it is true we live in deception and lies
we are the lies
and we have created the emptiness.
