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...
