Statuesque
People stand on the roadside along a deserted highway,
preserved in time as grim reminders of another day.
From before there was enlightenment to show direction,
with nations divided by boundaries in strange imperfection.
As wars were fought over religious beliefs and such,
without consideration for lives that it would touch.
Changing the landscape of what's thought to be correct,
into something where empty lives are what you expect.
Where many souls becomes lost on the edge of an abyss,
which promises to offer answers that lead you amiss.
Down roads of self-destruction which take away composure,
and leaves indecision in its wake to make them unsure.
Remaining motionless as they decide what they must do,
watching the world pass them by on a path ever true.
Never to realize how much beauty exists waiting to be found,
if only people would open their eyes and simply look around.
