"The Long Walk"

 



"The Long Walk"
Greg Budig 2020


Where is this 

all going?

This journey.

This endless trek.

Seems we have 

suffered together on 

this wretched march.

Searching for justice. 

Seeing the light. 


So much 

anticipation. 

A vague glimmer

of possible hope. 

Thinking that maybe 

we would do better 

this time. 

Thinking maybe…

there was hope. 


Words don't come 

easy when you've 

used so many 

before. 

This odyssey has 

drained you of 

so many things. 

It's hard to imagine 

having to start again. 


The charlatans have 

lead the blind to 

their false promises. 

And they have 

spoken again. 

Why has the journey 

been so hard. 

Why are so many 

eyes closed. 


The crossroads 

are reached. 

Heavy footed you 

stop and look up.

Fatigue settles. 

Where is the light?

The cause is still there. 

You lower your eyes as 

the journey goes on. 


The End
