Dark Veil

A dark veil
O'er eyes and ears
Have set phrases to stun.
Standards for me
Omnipotence for thee, 
Tripping over
grayed limping liberty,
Crumbling to a blurry pause.
Trekking through a
Field of freedoms trampled, 
Foraged souls 
Appear and wilt 
In the fiery smartphone snapped chat.

Hypnotized by systemic doping,
we await elusive belly tickles:
To resurrect us from our 
collective nod.
