We are splendor

Apolitical wisdom

Count the syllables

Escorting you

To

The biggest hijack

In human history

Societal trauma response

As they want us

Weaponized by ignorance

The empty head of department

Marauded by bliss

Engenders/Manifest

Angry soldier siblings

Of one’s recurring nightmare

Canonized to offend

Faith and hate

Fall short

Fatten the chain of command

Aware

At war

How did we let us get so far

Blurry vision

From the sills of the mansions we grew in

Segregated from the despicable

That breathe

Commited to despair

Expendables

Stole your attention

Desertified compassion

Now you fix that throne,

Another day at the job.

Turns out- your church is no poison

Sneakers squeak

Over scarred foundations

Next time around

Cocooned and warm

I am not amnesty

No expiation

Or corrective action;

The world is too small

To still be hanging free thinkers:

Greif and Freud

Against the grainers

Enduring that mind hiccup

Like segments of a bridge

That rythm the wheels

Then back in business

Polite mind scans

Settling for

Future rage bait

The uber moral machine

A picturesque conviction

Camo-ed as merry go round

Happy kids and happy parents

Paying for a ride

Wind through leaves

Cocaine’s ubiquity

Invoked

In suit of the many drinks

And it figures

Mine is a petty state
