NEGLECT

So easily overlooked

Yet full of dusty wonders

At heart like gold

On epidermis, rust

Waiting for the one

The one single act

The one single drop

To wipe away

Years of seemingly

Harmless thoughts, words and ideas

Swaddled in the question

Is it important?

Heaven has not fallen yet

So what's the fuss all about?

Give me enough time

Says Neglect

You'll recant your words

Your new mantra

Will be

Had I known...

To your utmost peril

Signed: Neglect
