No Clarity But Surrender

Chuck this hierarchy Want to scramble this all consuming Top down conceit From cradle to courthouse Ambitious frog leaps fall prey To slithering whispers And the accountability of thieves- Mercurial hoods tying paysheets To what the body believes An aching nuisance scraping the face of disguise Men on wheels shouting fingers Placing boulders on the shoulders of mercy The mind untangles during knots of sleep Rigged dice beckon with the bounty of ecstasy To stretch this awakening across the goal line But the body is weak at every gate There is no clarity but surrender
