‘The Village’

It’s ingrained

All you have to do is ask

But then you do

And the excuses start flying

So you start to withdraw

You get asked why

If you get asked at all

People start dropping like flies

You’re left looking at the big, gaping hole left behind

You move forward anyway

You have to

The hunt is still on for a village

Despite knowing one will probably never show up

Now matter how hard you look
