THE SIGN OF SUCH GOLDEN SORROW

'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..........
