estranged

estranged by this image
we do beseech ourselves
to make us seem more worthy
of our more ancient tales

We'll  dress ourselves in night
ornate ourselves with stars
build a world of rainbow clouds
till they become our iron bars

not needing such a season
we'll be this everyday
we'll sell ourselves to images
isn't that the current way.
