Atlas abandons

My weary eyes are unable to disclose

the faults in humanity that dispose

our hopes and dreams

my eyelashes are sowed in seams

even when I fall to sleep

my dreams contain the errors that make us weep

society lives on a thin line

of what can be incorrect and considered as fine

but the immoralities that last in the morals

shoot out of the everlasting portals

contradictions occur in the real fact fiction

when more humans are birthed at the same time as our extinction

the sun in the sky freezes the earth

while some of us walk blind into what we think is worth

think is the beginning of our birth

but is just the start of destruction

the robot beeps at the end of its function

the blocks heavy on the shoulders

as Atlas holds the massive boulders

his hands grow black at all the disease

and the want to give out grows at his knees

the stench from the rock is hard to breathe in

his breath grows weak as the oxygen thins

his ears are filled with the human's shouts

and his head is filled with all of their doubts

his masculine form has taken its toll

as his effort to hold us begins to roll

he does not feel as if we deserve

to make him suffer and keep his pleasure in reserve

all it takes is a quick drop

and he can walk away as the world turns to slop

but is it already a living trash

Atlas does not feel it to be the heavenly stash

unworthy violence above his head

and bullet holes bleeding out used up lead

pity the fallen and the souls of unrest

but before they reach their death no less?

even before we have reached a ripe old age

some of us feel as though we are already caged

in a body unable to move

in a body unable to soothe

even the old man has wisdom

tucked up inside the years fallen in the schism

but as time continues to age

the young have been falling to rage

and the intellectuals become the delinquents

as the good acts become more infrequent

Atlas is done with the effort

Done acting as humanity's Shepard

So he lets go and walks with a wave

to the painful planet we were to blind to save
