    A Cynic? Maybe

    To make me stop,

    where do I begin?

    Maybe at the pinnacle, or maybe

    at the pulpit. As vague voices are

    mimicked by infinite questions, or

    maybe it’s just the introspective

    paranoia.

    We all are doing this on impulse,

    and that is the thought thinking

    for itself.

    The piece of all of us that creates

    with nothing, the concept of God

    that doesn’t exist.

    Questions, questions,

    where are our questions?

    Locked within a trapped idealistic

    savvy that does more to spite it’s

    face than plagiarized aesthetics?

     

    No, it’s constantly answering

    with a rebuking rebuttal our

    conscious self shoves aside arrogantly.

    Choosing to profusely properly portray

    a symbiotic relationship between mind,

    and body, Spirit and soul.

    Introspectively personal, the voices

    reverberate, more likely to act than

    the physical. Not as a criticism, merely

    the proportional distribution of a

    marred clarity.

    A form of profanity manifested

    within what we won’t protest,

    a profession, and questions remain

    unanswered.

     

    Where does one go from here?

    Atop the crescent moon shaped

    apparition, atop their ingeniously

    devised curriculum, atop the mandatory

    appearance between pews, blaming

    ourselves with no retort, with no reaction.

    Wondering why, while each collar

    coded threat of terrorism continues

    shaping our reality, and we embrace

    fantasy, because fiction easily becomes

    the travesty of an improperly designed

    means of prognosis.

    Why not try and figure just how tight

    their grip is?

     

    And we digress, can’t we find the finish?

    We’re told that the end holds a bright light,

    and conclusion, but what about hindsight?

    Is it not it’s own heaven?

    We barely know who we are, continuing to

    wander. Soldering concepts together,

    just to endure this new brand of elitism.

    But we’re the ones standing on the thresh

    hold of entropy.

    Maybe we’ve already deduced your

    technocratic capital socialism, and we

    revolt.

     

    Moving silently behind the scenes,

    listening while comparing all the solutions,

    based on our individual institutions.

    It’s mind over matter, but if your too

    idealistic, you have nothing to nurture,

    then again it’s never us, it’s our future.

     

    The sneeze before you know what orgasm

    is, the ability to prejudge, because you receive

    what society influences, and speaks behind

    razor wired laced halitosis. Hypnotic

    device preprogramming, and reprogramming

    it’s a “Grand Plan” for the organisms

    greatest test subject.

    The ones who scuttle, and scurry for scraps.

    Each new fashion, each new branch of

    propaganda stands as the trap, but we have

    to have it.

    The pulse of our lives; the constraints we

    create by forgetting we’re sheep.

    Hold us back, keep us down.

    This was meant merely as a structured

    ideological principle printed upon paper,

    because even sometimes needs an always.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
