When I hold on to Truth or Trust Or cli

     
When I hold on to Truth or Trust
     Or cling to Hope or Logic
To set right the broken relationship
      With pacifications and promises
For a Joint venture, called the Family,
     Like a Castle or a Citadel-
Like a Game of building Card Palace
     Or a Sand Fort on the beach shore
Crumbles down by ferocious waves
    Or by wavering unsteady Minds!
      
 The day is cloudy
And I am a bit moody
Things fall apart
As my mood plays its part.

Have things fallen apart for you where you struggled to make sense of the whole, but found yourself going down a hole instead?

The title of your poem today is the title of Chinua Achebe's 1958 novel Things Fall Apart. This title in turn is borrowed from W.B. Yeats's poem The Second Coming.
