Ulterior motives

That was then
Lost in Baltimore
No place to go
this is now
agendas of the timid
motives of the craved
walled in bricks
the stories the building must hear
the stories it must endure
witnessing so little hope
so many lost and worried souls
the tales one building can feel
voices directing a fever
ghosts with their own object reasoning
foreshadowing the inane
one more story to behold
a spot light in the cloudy grey haze
smiles can break walls down
laughter heals wounds
time was too busy to consider
to have a sliver of hope
it is better than despair
everything dust from the universe
every drop of rain accounted for
ulterior motives of intellectuals
toys to be deployed
smiles breaking walls down
laughter healing wounds
time was too busy for
silent indecision
honest man walking
crazy man looking to reflections
agendas of all us fools
