Stages

Leaping over obstacles
Foraging for life
Standing still
Ripped apart
Playing a role
Playing a part

Offer of branches
Applaud the dusted ground
Weaving a pathway
Shackling the almighty sound

Craving burdens
Lifting souls
Heartless offerings
Harnessing the vulnerable
Wanting to contain
To be in control

Pushing on
Privilege is not labelled
Into their past
Not imprinted
In their futures

Lost in a circle
Of cycle
Calm the noise
Compose compromise
