disestablishmentarians

In the dark, light, between

complex landscapes painted in shades

gradations of greys

where is the weather?

who is our champion?

how have we decided 

to show off our eyes,

paste on our smiles?

Coloring inside lines, confined to a strict palette

images from unremembered dreams

marketed for quick profit

The fashion of the times

defines expectations

coloring lives.

 

 

Vastness

broken down

easily digestible steps

Mischievous sprites

capture moments

nibble out snowflakes

pretty flower patterns

ripples of sandcastles

dissolving as moats ascend

clouds billow

waves clap

sunset gleams softly

in a spellbound instant

syllable by syllable

 

 

Eating, assimilating

sucking marrow into dissolution

The way of the world

Protest, resistance, is useless

Survival requires cunning

strong resolve, stronger destiny

Whimpering will not do

To overcome implacable degradation

concentrate

synergize potency

catalyze energy

self-organize systematically
