Monopolising Youth and Sorrow
Monopolising Youth And Sorrow
Elevations of my soul soar toward the remnants of a dream
Revelations on growing old pour out from behind a stifled scream
Contemplations on what is sold when they are looking to demean
Vaccinations for a cold that conjures up something else that we need to clean
Hybrid inflections of my own vocal intonations spoken loud
Cybrid reflections of the local community standing proud
I hid my good intentions in humility so it went unnoticed like a cloud
Then rid my inane inventions of the need to be read aloud
Placating a crying child at the latest social sense of some injustice felt
Berating a sighing wild woman for some recompense for what she’s dealt
Negating a dying portion of my defense that can’t be helped
Aggregating a lying fortune teller for the notches upon her animal pelt
Cascading waterfalls that know it all as each droplet begins to fall
Crusading commissioners that show their hand and try to remain standing tall
Parading provisioners that refuse to give an inch of kindness or at all
Degrading derisioners that choose to refuse to relent and constantly show their gall
Light to bear an obvious burden that will not go away
Sight to tear a ludicrous sermon to pieces on a sacred Sunday
Delight to wear the luminous speakers thoughts who has something to say
Insight to hear the subtle sounds of discernment and decay
A subtle refine of elegance blazed across the sky
The trouble in the recompense of someone always asking why
A bubble of sorrowful defence as I’m so inclined to cry
As the rubble of their pretence makes me report another wide eyed sigh
Wisdom and the benevolence that Rumi writes of constantly
Children get through a broken fence as I stand there observing solemnly
Give them a solid defense as they don’t stand a chance without it properly
As the system relents and continues to dance around the next monopoly
