'The Sign Of Such Golden Sorrow'
a forbidden language
for all the world
but mostly the US
where there is an amazing
abundance of loose cannons
the mute grow loud
and the deaf finally listen to
hear their cries
most pitiful is the
empty-eyed-onlooker
neither innocent nor wise
just grave in his approach
fearful of the days yet to come
seeing threats and conspiracy
where all too gladly madly
there is none
he is victim to his own grimly
focused will
self-professed master to the lay man
who holds no true talent nor skill
mired down by deep veins of murderous
self reproach
he skulks to serf the web
itching for excitement
new ideas he can pilfer
profit from or poach
its a sick faceless society
where cowards are hailed as heroes
and heroes become cowards
put under glass
which makes me long
all the more
for the good 'ole days
of straight forward ambiguity
where now
its mind over matter
why even when the minds
in question are unforgivably insane
in darker than hell
example
I give to you
David Kereshe
that wasn't even his real name
he was such an ugly coward
he hid behind a warped idea of
God that he regularly abused
and an awful alias to boot
and thrice such efforts
glared back at the world
as quite a shame
I wonder still today
how God handled such
an evil idea of a man..........
