The Drifter in the Sphere

A crowd sprawled under the green sky

Heaven is tearing apart and stars crashing

An exodus commanded by a faceless king

Each one to ride a giant legged transport

A beast of steel to move the masses

Though not everyone is granted pass

For the ones privileged must bear a mark

Those turned away must stay and rot

Not everyone is welcomed to travel

This is one trip I must make

I marked myself with a counterfeit

I was granted in and took my ride

They quarantined us on a tube

Once cleansed, we are elevated to board

I levitated, but not to the legged transport

Diverted, intertwined and spiraled below

I was certain that I will be punished

My deceit did not get me to salvation

The fall grew faster ready to break my bones

But at the end, I floated and drifted in shadow

The darkness was calming yet void of hope

I’ve come to terms that this is my fate

A speckle among nothingness that’s who I am

Then panels of light popped one by one

These windows surround me, I’m enclosed in sphere

A face with no eyes appears ready to pass judgment

It was humbling to be in its presence

How small I am compare to the powers that be

It asked me, If I was ready for the truth

At that moment, that’s when my quest for answers begin
