There’s an erosion taking place that is so silent, so unobtrusive, few are aware.

Enslaving Love by Odin Roark An eagle rides the updraft Peering down at the happenings Man's best friend wags his tail Hesitantly A bouquet of flowers seeks the sun Amidst relationship's cold-draft unrest A baby simply close its eyes Rejecting intrusion on innocence So goes the conspiracy of the have-nots Guised in sanguine images of love How few fight back Accepting the status quo As contemporary truth Families The worst offenders Politicians strong second Bossdom at work, close third Reality dictates Agendas rule And agendas are allegiant To only their own moi How insipid grows this weed of mind A torturous maintenance Made defeatist by default Rendering but mulch as offspring Yet Some of dumb luck Persevere Finding somewhere Antidotes for poison Perhaps it's the unpolluted glass of water The walk along a pristine forest path Sitting on ancient sand Ocean waters lapping one's feet Willingness to drink in nature again Disallowing today's misanthropic trend To seduce what's left For some The echo is fierce **** me **** you
