we have to in my
case remember to forgive
ourselves and others

because we are all
too human, and these times would
be a hell of a

lot easier if
some folks managed to get that

Hear ghostly laughter
With freedom freely fleeing
Chances and choices
Reverberation
Through masses with their heads down
Null innovation
Tragedies heap up
Dragons flick their tails in caves
Lambs play up above
Fickle folks forward
Leave the lingering darkness
For their descendents

the whole world with
folks running tourists over in
spain who did nothing

to them but just happened
to be there at the wrong time
those same feelings, the

diverse mobs, the
competing murderous hiveminds
who wish to drink our

blood and rip our flesh
off the bodies, we don't need
The Walking Dead, they

carry signs, burn down
store fronts, smash windows scream
NAZI or WHITE POWER

or something like that
opportunism, the cycle of Ecclesiastes
the time of peace and

the time of war, i
pray it's not too late

the reason i feel
like seeing these things, these idols

think, how far will
people go until they stop
how far will the world

collapse, am i willing

Fingers on strings squeeze
Out a tapestry and I see
Through a window needing cleaning

Never having met
Telescopic admiration
Moved by action at a distance
Birds chirp in cages wings aching
