The Present Day

I looked up to find smoke

Instead of stars.

I looked down to find cars

Instead of trees.

I looked around to find criminals

Instead of truth seekers.

I look upon myself, finding myself to smoke

Instead of laugh.

And then I look all around myself

Towards the jagged ice pavements.

Thinking about what could have been

And realising now what is it.
