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
