in the event of collapse
every wordsmith a poet
every artist a friend
every painter a marksman
defying whats on trend
every trial a judgement
means 2 an end
every speech a concept
worthy 2 defend
every broken 💔 saved
every truth cleansed of sin
no mater what
this can’t happen again
I could write you a letter
I could sing you a song
I could pray for us together
I could whisper a psalm
My words could mean everything
Or nothing at all
My words could be your savior
Or your tragic downfall
these cravenbeasts
that care least
for those that feast
on their every word
toxic channel serfs
offered nothing of worth
just clickbait placate
in warp speed corridors
broadcast vehicles
represent truth’s blur
America made absurd
in every single word heard
a means to an end
depends
on who what where when
what the fuck then?
I don’t know,
transcend?
transcend
like a paycheck
that spends;
like you got
dollars to lend
to all those
shit talkin’ grins.
transcend
but never
make amends.
sins are sins;
close out all
those zero sums
w/ red white
blue pens.
it’s fin;
America
means to end.
peer outward,
far into night.
cast your line,
an angler of starlight.
wade into water,
under glow; celestial sight.
stare across the breeze;
these waves defy my symmetry.
woke up in this desert
no water within range
sun stood up above me
called me out by name
the heat of its body
the sting of its ray
an everlasting fire
burns me with dismay
exhausted; not defeated
counter with a call for rain
no well can be filled
until I pour desire
overtop eternal flame
open 👁️ wide
mental concubine
everything wanted
head hazily haunted
judgement, desire
a lust felt fire
that calls through
summoned as one
nothing of none
vision mind side
doorway open
until blinked away
musing to maintain
hidden brain grey
main mental frame
desire detained
