Confessions of a Cynic


These lofty ideals
I use to carry
in my attitude 
unapologetically
now lie in the ruins
of this gray crime scene...

Crumbled dreams
chipped away
by decades
of steady disappointments...

Replaced
by the sharp jagged bricks
of current bitter indifference...

Now I'm just another
cynical commentator
blasting a society
that failed me
though in reality
beneath my wrecked facade
I know full well 
I failed myself
