Contrasting Visions...
As armies continue to march their sanguinary war
lifeless lay those as sinewy gore,
pinnacled soldiers atop a land possessed
making themselves feel they've been blest
Bittersweet is the toil of progress
especially for those unacceptable to less
the muses in choir sing lamentable pleas
for those who have fallen on bended knees
Hardpressed below in a world of chaos
noise of destructions brutal chorus
as the wheel of fortune continues to turn
corrupted prides perpetual burn
Ungrateful are those whom spoils partaken
demanding more from those less privileged
as the wanting mounts,so goes the engine of war,
shattering breakdown of harmonies door...

Elysian fields sit in still repose
listening to scattered sorrows and woes
as the white flag of truce falls lanquid
....into crimson pools,
another era has corrupted world schools
As the mountains robe themselves with indigo
pinkish rose hues tint the early evening sky
hillside flowers dance duskily as vertigo
accompanied by feathered song on high
Such beautiful arrangement of nature's orchestration
sounds taken on the hint of colours
chromatic notes displayed like butterfly variegation
sweet silent hush persuades succor...

Our world may not be perfect
but,the beauty of simplicity urges us on,
we are the masters of cause and effect
we just need to understand where we belong
There is a much higher order to emulate
most enjoy this tragic comedy of pleasure and pain,
thorns affixed to the lower fates
while others strive for celestial gains...
Dynamic dimensions of time
dynamic dimensions of space
individual acts experiencing imply
collective acts proceeding trace
Contrasting visions inquiring discrimination
experience allows proper judgement
prejudice fearing unknown situation
composing understanding eventual attainment....
Developed composition of the sense faculties
all firing in unison as a totality
quantifying principles,determining quantity of energy
but,also to include quality of energy
Infantile souls allow the body to outshine
as the lower instincts continue in reflex,
mature souls subordinate the physical lines
as the spirit's flame consumes vexation
Still...all in ordered regulation
no fruit picked before it's time,
patient endurance to due satisfaction
the soul's height continues to climb
Seven spheres of conscious levels
letting loose the crown of thorns
partaking trumpets of heaven in revel
restoring crown of regal born....
