There lies at the heart of the season A conspiracy of unsung giving Conceived with the purest of reason Mythology that makes life worth living Derived from well-intended deceit Engineered to exploit our naivety Quite an extraordinary conceit That sows our seeds of creativity Born from long-forgotten ancient lore And steeped in propensity to hopeContinue reading “The Santa Collective”

Rest Stop of Babel
I set out late this morning On my daily thought commute Straight for the superhighway Down the simple, easy route I jump right into my newsfeed And subconsciously commit My mind to trepidation To debates I can not quit I crank my mind in high gear Accelerating awake Turning towards the onramp I instantly haveContinue reading “Rest Stop of Babel”
Faketriot
Sprung from tombs of anachronism Fertilized in forefather’s pride The stench of spoiled patriotism Permeates from deep down inside Spangled head to toe in bloodstain The colors of idolized years Cloaked in the shroud of their disdain Are Faketriot’s impotent fears The waving flag of hypocrisy Sewn from fabric of our common shame Bears theContinue reading “Faketriot”
Anachronome
Hardwired to our source code Subconsciously prepared Transmitted by antenna To the mind yet unimpaired Anxious wires vibrating Growing accordant buzz Alternating progressions To transcend the cosmic fuzz Keys surge in synthesis Sounds in varied degrees Ambient landscapes of mood Born of nuanced subtleties Vibrating cables pulse Crunchy metallic thrum Synchronizes our heartbeats With everyContinue reading “Anachronome”
Superbia
In the dawning days of dysphoria Cliques of creatures could casually crawl Through ramshackle burned-out suburbia To the heart of a late century mall There a disembodied discomfort crept Across cavernous cliches of heartache Many lost souls inconsolably wept For fidelity they’re forced to forsake The withering disapproval destroys What the earnest dreamer dares toContinue reading “Superbia”
The Uncarved Block
From the heart of the fallen oak The ancient soul has been released It echos of words not yet spoke Of many ghosts not yet deceased Compact concentric rings betray The birthmarks of forgotten fate Each contour able to convey Possibility to create Strong yet minimal at its core Cut from the living breathing stockContinue reading “The Uncarved Block”
Evershine
We are sons of suns Rent from cosmic dust Ageless yet ephemeral From clay to bone to rust Simmered in the primordium A fusing organic stew Each quantum thread unspooling Into seeds from which we grew Sparked by atmospheric bolts A molecular genesis starts Cellular replication explodes The whole not the sum of its partsContinue reading “Evershine”
Theater of the Absurd
Welcome one and all To insanity on display Where songs from a once-great hall Loop endlessly all-day Where carnivals of calamity Capture cretins carousing in vain Washing each drop of their humanity Down the hyperbolic drain Gaze in silent wonder At the spectacle of excess When it’s a bargain for a blunder There can beContinue reading “Theater of the Absurd”
Phantasmetaphoria
Begrudgingly from beyond The specter stealthily stepped Dragging corpses in its wake Of promises yet unkept. Hesitantly from haze The wraith restlessly returned Sweeping ashes from the grave Of happiness it burned. Distantly from darkness The spirit suddenly sprang Bearing scars of conflagration From the hatred that it sang. Gathered in a circle Repentant revenantsContinue reading “Phantasmetaphoria”
Attention: All Would-Be Social Media “Slacktivists”
The world has grown weary of your toothless rationalizations. Your conditional “I hate racism- BUTs” and your equally banal “why can’t we all get along” sentiments echo hollowly down the corridors of history. I realize we are all striving to make sense of this chaos but there comes a time to put the anger backContinue reading “Attention: All Would-Be Social Media “Slacktivists””
