Nor Copper Nor Silver

  drained of emotion
    idly-mouthed words
  raised fists with no punch
    meanings vacuous, blurred

  carousels of zombies 
    stare through his soul
  nor silver nor copper
   winged horses of gold

This one gives much food for thought in such a small space. A potent elixir and primer for mental nourishment, Gershon. When everything, even currency is worthless, not a chariot of fire, do not lose your soul, nor be a punch drunk zombie in an abusive carnival to souls. Be invincible to corruption and Urban decay. Live, farm be of stalwart stay. The main attraction is still there, obfuscated by fun house mirrors. Hanging in the balance, between clarity, and nothingness, a better way.

Thank you for the intense comment, Jude. I shall try to remain as unsullied as I can the rest of my days...
