Nihilism
Imagine a domain
More than a sanctum
A dimension
A sacred realm
Shrine that's veritable
But phantom
And bona fide
Orbital continent
Green cud
Red brier
Purple shrubs
Blue water
Orange orchards
Yellow daisies
Black roses
Pink lilys
Mountains of naked rock
With grey tips
Inland soft mist
Cloud covered translucent
Colours that enlight
Scent that delight
The pulchritude &
Disembodied aura
Scarcity of human entity
A heightened triumph
A euphoric defiant
The slithering river
Is an embellished torture
A relished rapture
An exaggerated elation
A powerful affection
There is no loathe
There is no love
Whatsoever happens anyhow
There is only the Tao
Now witness the region
It has been diluted
Poison & mutilated
Reduced & Induced
Developed & evolved
Natural to manipulated
A natural plough
To a paved footpath
Natural bark
To building structure
Tributary has gone bane
Inflected & infected
Contempt to humane
Imagine a domain
More than a sanctum
A dimension
That once was A-grade
That is now a effn' D-isgrace
Assiduous vacuity!
