Traveller

Gliding on a surface; carefree - naive -
A skater pirouetting on thin ice,
Oblivious to dangerous depths; the
Political currents, invisible
But sentient and as bullish as an
Orwellian elephant. You are a
Sacred cow - revered and scorned, patronised
While being ignored; a piece of flotsam
Falling prey to the riptides of unknown
Oceans and sacrificed to gods of
An ephemeral opportunity.
