    Heretical Fingerprints

    Torn from the womb, rushed
    into a warriors labor. A failing
    patriarch with eyes of sterling,
    sleek in shape, displaying a
    desperate smile.

    Engaged in foaming conversations,
    which seemingly drip effortlessly
    upon the ear drums of systematic
    recoil.
    Cause has effect, descriptive, and
    random, while tragedy nurses
    folly.

    Monsters leaving carcasses,
    one after another. One more steel
    ringlet latched around necks
    like a noose.
    Prophecies of habit, of vengeance,
    seen only when one comes clean,
    the acceptance, the truth of
    religious martyrs, religious sages.

    Still teetering on the edge of
    impossibility, human form
    infected with fantasies, and reality
    based television becomes the
    docility of technocracy. Easily
    trapping the ignorant watchers
    with denial, while fallen soldiers
    lead a life of misfortunate
    revile.

    Gather together the worlds
    inequities, and think only of each
    bygone quality. Bind them together,
    coalesce the congregated minority,
    and strap them upon surface to
    air missiles. Ready, aim, fire.
    Rain down manufactured hatred,
    upon their difference, their
    deference.

    From the windows of paradise,
    I see this perjury, praise be to simple
    solutions too enigmatic, because
    the tactics are so similar to prayers
    and hopes. God drain them of their
    breath, strip them of their life.
    Hold onto the image of a
    limitless sky, while another rocket
    races across centuries.
    From one aisle to another, from
    one dogmatic doctrine, into the
    hands of priests, bigots, and
    demi-Gods. The clerics whose
    spirits are our questions with
    out answers, not the worlds
    intentions, driving these vehicles
    of intercession.

    Drawing the curtains, so the early
    morning sun cannot lash out at
    my eyelids, whose images create
    dreams within themselves.
    We can see the blood running from
    organ and body, reminding that
    life, no matter how defiled, no
    matter how tragic, or how inexact,
    is still a science, a process of do’s
    and don’ts.

    The limiting of ambition, restrained
    by our reality, relegates progressive
    proposals to fictitious daydreams,
    or to a drug induced psychosis,
    yet this cancer will grow, extending
    tentacles exponentially, cradling
    the heavens.
    Death after death manages to
    make reality so simple.

    A suggestion of murder, of
    genocide, an elimination of
    competition, of difference, of
    doctrine, of compassion,
    without interruption, the dream
    of our future is the plight of
    those being tortured for
    sovereignty.

    Wow... that's a lot of images and thoughts, questions and answers... I liked it, I like your depth.

    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
