"The Looped Vision of Futures"



The loop plays non-stop
the needle steps out of time 
into the groove of you and me
all of us played for time we are their revelry

hockey pucks struck by 
the quiet hidden demons
smiling and licking their lips 
already tasting our souls on a vicious ice field

lives matter no matter the colour of political greed 
time repeats over the record cracks 
verdicts and untruths the bells ringing out 
once the song of that king of civil rights now forgotten

the bill players kiss each other with glee

prayers and confessionals are wasted 
on all your wise misspent revolutions
wafers dipped into a book of wagers 
profits and losses lost in tombs all black sealed

could questioning minds make poetry 
from a death's throat opened to sing
fresh air to breathe 
evolve some kind truth 

for humanity’s last minute a saved dignity

and still the elephants march into the room
slowly holding in their adrenaline trunks the dry bones of doom
swinging low vibes slyly into our world view
in their silent hidden stoic hypocrisy 

are we simpletons not alone
wanting some humanity
sanity dies on the detour neck of a road open
when we are down on our knees

praying for some brevity
shortness of time 
waves wash over you and me
in that vacant parking lot we wait

when the war has dissolved
what remains of the forgotten beautiful dream 
broken sutures misplaced in a corner 
no longer no blue nor no green

some bad dream 
shelved on parchment hidden 
in cracked pots of clay forgotten in caves
some other world's dark gone wrong history

ignored, 
ghost wars 
crying out 
caught and unheard 

for some Light and some peace
