Alchemy of the Answers

Alchemy of the Answers Belief in the beauty of unrequited love blooming No relief as they replay the sounds of war looming A chief at the mane of the horse he is grooming A thief that refrains from the loot he is consuming A monument erected to a colonialist tyrant The consequence faced as a peaceful rally turns violent Consciousness debased as a cult leader refuses to be silent Promises embraced as one attunes to their new environment Warships aligned in the South-China Sea Mozart’s minuet played in the key of C A moment of regret as he makes the choice to be free The discriminatory tone set by those who look down on refugees Wildfires consume Hawaii as history burns to the ground Political liars presume the narrative as we try to rise above their sound The deciders of the prerogative conspire to undermine the profound As if mathematicians can come together to redefine the shape that’s round Progressive environmentalists determined to save the earth Impressive sentimentalists giving intellectualism a wide girth Regressive evangelists incorrectly assessing what everything is worth Aggressive conversationalists debating the existance of the virgin birth Postulations on Socrates and his theories on thought to expand Liberations from Dictatorial juries that allow the oppressed to take a stand Invitations to express Indigenous fury as they fight to reclaim their land Visitations from the ghost of Madam Curie as the atom splits in my hand The illumination of an oak tree through the fullness of moonlight The insubordination of those who see the need to fight for what is right The culmination of the inspired artist painting through the night The propagation of the sunflower seed whose brightness invirogates the sight Stark recollections from a camp in World War Two Barking rejections as you assert what it means to be you Sky-larking infections of the overpriveledged wealthy few Embarking on the elections of a leader with pure integrity supremely overdue Eloquent referrals of brilliant discourse expressing refine Subsequent deferrals of remorse regressing over time Monument paternal guidance gives recourse for children to resign Consequence of external concourse that forced atoms to realign Sadness expressed from beneath the details of his soul Madness regressed asyouthful natures evolve into the old The bad sets of inquests into themanwhosevaluescannot besold Gladness at the behest of alchemists turning questions into gold
