Sovereign Toast
Within a whirlwind of change
The mouth of modernity passes
And we casually cast images
Of past protruding post-hate
We find ourselves fiddling
With harpoons to harken our
Wayward wise dominion of doubt
And plush positivity ponders
Upon the usual ubiquitous volumes
Of man towards twinkling power
Positioned round the bend believing
Boasting of boring casualties causing
Catastrophic reams of reality
Revealing the end of times within
Our open hearts, removing the hatred
That harvests there at times titillated
Where wisdom comes lost
And heartache can hone in
We actually activate astounding
Painful pastimes that masturbates
The mind into dynamic dimples of
Doom, postulating the position
Of one’s own imagining, boasting
Of belief within the timelessness
Brought on by harvesting honor
Oh the horror, we feast upon fowl
And never do we accomplish the
Activities needed to sway a sovereign
Toast towards twin minds left to
Meander within most grave moments
But left to leave us blind and longing
