When Things Fall Apart

By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 10, 2017

Fission

Family and friends
Our loved ones
Ties that bind
Cradle to grave
Tried and true
Tested by time
Links of commonality
Life experiences
Disruptive words or deeds
Taking sides on
Political divide
World gone mad
Drifting apart
Calls not made
Natural erosion
Slip sliding away
Or emotional explosion
Smashed and bashed
Violent disruption
Split to smithereens
Gaping wounds
Critical distances
Cracked at the seams
What does it mean
Milk of human kindness
Gorilla glue
Plugging gaping holes
Binding up splinters
Oozing into cracks
Sticky stuff
Knitting us together
Lessons learned
Making new history
No more samosamo
Hardly pristine
All patched up
Rough and ugly not
Pretty as a picture
Perhaps better stronger
From here to eternity
Moving on or letting go
