ode to the oceans rise
dancing on a tightrope/lying through our teeth look at us darlings/how we feast the waters have risen/the hems salt stained pretty little dances/soon to meet there ends the clothes are old/and let out again these pretty delusions/are wearing gossamer thin dont look down/dont break the spell but you look up/and see how far away are the stars feel the water/lapping at your gown dont look down/dont look down you would hate/to drown its what you daddy ran from/its what your mama only saw his friends all drowned/hers still just holding on son of salt/daughter of air you new fellows above/old peers dying below take the shining hand/rise up above above the desperate hands/you claimed to love guilt makes your dance clumsy/but survivals no team game unless someones winning/unless your the one in pain pick your ally's/chose wise and smart they wont drown/wouldn't know where to start children of air/who dance so pretty don't know the ocean/and its boundless cruelty you rose above/how daring of you but can you resist the call/of what made you
#poetry#i am aware its a dence af block of text. but its a rlly long poem and i dont want to clog anyones dash#mmm i wonder what the rising ocean could represent??????#what major finacial issue in the uk could it be represtenting?????#i mean ist also about class#but only in terms of below/above the poverty line#am i caling my freinds sligtly delusional about their finacial situation and how they are kinda turning their back on#the people they grew up with? yes#but me even more so#they dont know the ocean#i do. to well#ive seen so many people drown#im walking away in full knolwege of how lucky i am compared to the people in my school#to the people who raised me#the people who i know#but like the line says#survivals not a team sport unless its beneficial#and i can only hope they want me to have a better life#rather than curse me out for abandoning them#i know the depths well#seen so many death throes#i swore i wouldn't end up like them#but maybe ive spent to long here#maybe im the deluded one#i guess ill find out soon
