Ephemeral Recollections On the Passage of Time

Ephemeral Recollections of the Passage of Time 

Ephemeral recollections of the passage of time  
General inspections of a population in decline
Congenital directions of a genealogy in scientific refine 
Perennial distortions of a perspective in pure mime

Elegant notions of a theory on entropy 
Pertinent commotions of what the third eye can truly see
Innocent devotions about what it’s like to live in poverty
Malcontent emotions over what it means to be truly free

Singular visions for the indiscriminately proud 
Angular decisions as you power through the crowd 
Rectangular incisions on the throats of the politically loud
Perpendicular divisions as the dead are placed into their shrouds 

A cacophony forming at the base of a mountain range 
The topography calling out the wierd and indiscriminately strange 
The cartography of the wicked and the fundamentally derranged 
The anthropology of society and what it means to be defamed

Litigious corporate lawyers claiming their money on the side 
Ambitious politicians out for what they cannot hide
Pernicious inhibitions of a man enslaved by pride 
The vicious extraditions of those who just jumped on for the ride 

Enlightening notions of the concepts of spiritual awakening  & transcendence 
Frightening potions of imposition and rememberance 
Lightening bolts of intuition and incendiary elegance  
Siphoning jolts of inhibition as we see through the embellishments

Contaminated water and superficial elements of decay 
The celebrated quarter of what it means to have your say 
The inundated distorter of truth among the games that we play 
The contentious border of Ukranian land on international display 

We walk this earth in discontent and  observation of the crimes 
And give a wide girth to the consequence of the symbol of the times 
But what we have learned in the enlightened abstinence has created pure refine 
And what we’ve earned in the brightened elegance, as we proudly step out of line
