Surreptitious explorations finances on the run
private arrangements on standby artistic merit doubtful
several plagues advance at once total destruction the end game
numerous stories unfold as lies poisonous effluent derides the cause
impartiality’s future desire empty cauldron’s riotous game
roll around like your life depends on it watch the stars crystalize
follow the rainbow’s empty rhetoric walk the streets defy the odds
break open the fading truth remember the last cautionary tale
lay naked before the universe listen to the emptiness
Infested Rhetoric
automatons
pedantic interiors
painstakingly constructed
terror repeated
clowns of industry
clones of popularity
acrobatic delivery
infested rhetoric
swiss made
beat lost
unhinged melody
reverential shame
limited lineals
leads to nowhere
iconoclasts crucified
graffiti removed
wagon emptied
Everest mounted
flag erected
inequity viewed
The red flag blows in the breeze touching paranoid birds in flight. God plucks souls from the earth, places them in giant bowls with bread, water, goldfish and plastic reeds for ambience. The color red is insightful and must be avoided in fear of death and the hellish fire that consumes wayward women and girls. And drag queens. Royal blood is blue and rarified. It protects upper classes from insight and allows them to rule us, abuse us, wear tiaras and talk with silly voices. War is red too, and insightful. It remembers Death. Destruction. Stolen Land. Corruption. Bigotry. Chauvinism. The forgotten ones put down broken bones, hear voices from the past. They drink the blood of civilizations. The Rising Sea swallows the remains.
