QUARANTINE LIFE: POETRY PROMPT---THE BANDWAGON


The bandwagon you jumped on

Seems to be moving fast

You've joined the ones you can’t beat

On a trip that will not last

Your patience with the high road

Ran out, and here you are

Waving the banner of those 

Who view you as subpar


The bandwagon you jumped on

Has its own strategy

You on board, are just a prop

A technicality

Your purpose serves to deceive

Your ride comes with a hitch

Don't be surprised as the wheels fly

You end up in a ditch


The bandwagon you jumped on

Proves you have lost your way

At some point, other travelers

Influenced what you say

Convincing you that who you are

And every road you've trod

Is damaged, worthless, ignorant

With no place to applaud


The bandwagon you jumped on

Has never been secure

It drives its own a scenic way

For you, there's a detour

Be careful what you leave behind

What falls off as you ride

Where this wagon will take you

Will leave you dead inside


The bandwagon you jumped on

Is coming to an end

Open your eyes; don't be surprised

When it slows down again

To test how much you hate yourself

And those who look like you;

To seek gullible stooges

As most bandwagons do
