This Failed State
6/27/2024
by SEVA

​Aspiration
Without inspiration
Devoid
No failsafe
In this failed state
Busyness
As momentum
Hoping for meaningful causation
Result
Hoping for accidental succession
Fallout
Sidetracked
Hoping for alignment
These continuous attempts
To do our best
To best our best
At being human
Failure
Again and again
Moments
Simple seconds
Without thought
In the gaps between
I try to remain there
As long as I'm able
Hoping to avoid intrusion
But there it is
Human
I am
Human
With fleeting optimism
We are always
​Human
Complicating simplicity
Dissecting beauty
Tempting superficiality
Tell me something real
Tell me something true
One simple moment
With ease
When we truly become
​Human
Exemplified
And to one another
​Uncomplicated
