A Reliquary Musing A child’s doll melded into a stone in a former Nazi Death Camp as its chilling image haunts the collective mind of those who live in the so-called civilized world of today and who profess a hollow concern for a child who’s long dead and who’s been completely forgotten to the rest of the modern...

I HEARD THEY THOUGHT THEMSELVES CIVILIZED Each grain of gorged sand civilized people — themselves owned; owned land. meanwhile the steeple looked down at the band of loquacious stock. each thought themselves well in front of the rock. Ozymandias’ plaque — bleak headstone of hell! Cain’s ark had a crack — offed sand of red sea. Cornerstone cuts back the billows — sets free. 7/28/2020 Ozymandias was written by Percy Bysshe...

I am a civilized animal, just like you My brain works a bit better than a computer In terms of obeying human moral My heart circulates blood transporting oxygen and nutrients To every little cell that comprised of molecules and organelles Made by materials My life works strictly this way nothing special Only the love to my kind seemed to be unusual The...

Now riding electric lifts to the sky, Looking down on ones lower than them, From once sparkling towers covered in greedy soot, Practicing lies in mirrors reflecting evil, Dying bodies on far away sidewalks appearing as bugs, Lofty perched minds unaware of compassionate thoughts, Forgetting dank dark mountain holes they descended from, Egos equal only to their pocket books, Uncivilized ancestors kinder and...
