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!
