PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

ideas happen in conversation
steamboats of frenzy
chug life itself
so filled with enthusiasm
around rooms of reason
shuttered away as they are
from hallways leading unto light
mediocrity slaps shoulders
of minor genius
vying just to be recognized
Merry Andrews, the lot of them
make mischief into the minutia
of each moment's pinched uncertainty
while time and choice
mingle unwisely together
obnoxiously displaying bruised evidence
from the others fatal passing
it's from the cauldrons of chaos
that war furiously erupts out from
ego pitied against ego
on a grandiose scale
involving many lives and habitats
so eager to stand
backing flimsy paranoia
with ones pumped up physical appearance
of might
whether it be a mere personal disagreement
familial vendetta
block wide boycott
or a national declaration of war
the undercurrent flows thus the same
fear begets fear
distorted truths ring hollowly untrue
vast numbers of people die
homes and livelihoods are destroyed
families are scattered and shattered
memories become polluted
and the world looks on wearily stoic
yet more empty and afraid
than before
for regardless of the age
it's the unknowable that scares
men the most............
