Pendulum Dash

,

Runner Up for the Pendulum Dash

Head toward the Rain, 

Run out of Breath holy fast

Dread behind and high hopes

In a satchel shook loose

Hang around

In the Skies

Check the time, 

Here way too soon.

Well, wait a while

Til the buzzards

Come walking

On their own

Meet you there

At the right spot

Outside 

Their secret home

They've got a satchel 

And a dial

Tuned to a

contagious plan.

They cut you down

Before you thud

Reaching out

To give a hand

Gonna need

A couple days

Gonna split up

Go several ways

Gonna keep

A satchel wide

Gonna tune out

Contemptuous 

Here's a mountain

Go halfway up

Pull a letter

Out of a tree

Read it silent 

With buzzards elsewhere

Written explanations

'Why they chose me.'

Well son you ain't 

On that list

Of enclosed 

Humanity

You can't dispose of

Wretched pasts

Let lone high hopes

Or burnt debri

So those wicked birds 

Or wicked, they say,

Will sparse the skies

And have their may

They're going to send satchels

Partially open

To all of those

Who just can't pay

Because its going to take the lost

Like you and you

And it takes the lost

Like you and you

To open your eyes to

Financial bloodlust

Who even villify

The buzzards, too.

That's why its raining ashes,
