Nonsense To You Maybe

Blind discontent bets
    on favor of the gods
Nondirected energy ricochets
     back to the source and
tears apart

Dreadful vengeance bows
     to your bidding
     with pocket foggy
retribution

Roll over crisscrossed rage as
     aluminum pop tops tinkle
     on shaved black head
ebony living statue testifies

You did not pay attention.
      Hope left long ago on wings
       of the moment.
