A Sense of the World Around - Stream of Consciousness

give it up
all of it away
the drink thrown
into the bucket
a hallowed grave
known to few
and the sense
of the world around us
muffled
and hazy

today is the day
and tomorrow will be the change
do not check
the neurons firing
a war
a battle
a show for the given
and the witnesses here

a test
a bag filled
with the gold
in pain
and forgotten
and to pass away
the time
