John Weber Poet Free verse

Death Esoteric

Skeleton militias wander in scorn
Honest souls trapped in unjust divergence
Gaia demands her levy of bloodlust
As the digital bleats disdained alarm

Age after age, arcane symbols unite
To craft war hatred into sacrifice
Jumping deities spit on our belief
Hoping we hurl ourselves into the pit

So they haunt from sorrow's dimension
Hindsight's alert falls upon rocky ground
Textbooks revise the true call of history
To stamp out questions before they take form

Snarling horses trample the barriers
Each generation gets shoved to the front
That two-headed eagle spies the melee
Clutching arrow and sprig within talons

Perversions of peace drift in like dank fog
Manufactured in factories next to tanks
The wealth families count ill-gotten profits
While building fences around bold ideals

The Darwin cult hides their fatal sigil
Behind progressive scientific thought
Masons stack bricks in kabalistic rank
Temples of greed stab into the heavens

My spirit's pupa appears to be dead
Denizens of the tomb clutch at my soul
Jealous hoarding of knowledge collapses
With one mighty crack, the light shall expose

Steve Voorhees January 18, 2009 at 11:17 AM John...this is profound writing my friend! I feel as you do that the gap between truth and the deeds to carry out falsities parading as truth are ever growing. I feel confident when reading this that minds as ours are few...but growing steady. We may have to tear it down to build it up...but this is the kind of writing that wakes people up. Well done.
