Double the helix
every rung
Some are shattered
Some have none

It was here
Where we met
Let our posterity
not forget

Forged are the chains
by the ones before
who destroyed us with
their inner wars

Long the shores
in tides we waded
leaving tracks
now all faded

Why did you pass
this world to me?
With restless fears
and uncertainty

You hang above
with eyes cast low
and leave me lacking
in all I know

Must I struggle
as you once did
Is this the same
life you lived?
