Lockstep - Poem

We're living in two different worlds, feet apart

You've spent so long fighting, you can't recognise someone lockstep beside you

You can only assume they're the shadow of your next adversary

If you search for the perfect evil, you will become it

If you search for the perfect friend, lover or ally, you will die alone

So what do we do if we can't trust our eyes or our ears?

Do we trust each other? Hardly

Or that we're doing our best? Ah, we’ll never know

All I do know,

Is I walk in uncertainty, lockstep with those who believe in a singular better world
