Imagery

Picture images World in mad swirl We all fall down Present in the past Looking back gaze Past in the present Distorted portraits Twirling in the blur Misty moments unearthed Harsh sensibilities Emergent violence Conflicts seed war Crazy madness Forfeits true freedom Attack thoughts breed Hostile takeovers Beyond simple mergers Occupied territories Fatal attraction Ugly manifestations Upheavals instigate In freedom's name Slavery in new mint Revolutionary road Why kill that sweet song Of a mockingbird? Install a dumb parrot Disaster laid plain Not just in vain To murder complaint Harsh reality Jaded imagery Hangman's noose Don't pity the dead They are fortunate See this living hell Dear beauty and truth All seems lost Where violent times amass World peace transits More like world in pieces Sadness part IX Leon Enriquez 26 September 2014 Singapore (Notes: **part IX = the number 9 (IX) stands for completion or a conclusion of a situation or cycle. After that, things start again in a new cycle. Only when things fall apart can a new wholeness emerge.)
