Malignant Avarice
by Odin Roark
How pernicious
This featureless monster
Lurking in shadows of cravings
Knowing well its metastasizing power
The child in man squints
Observing the ghost like presence
Segueing centuries past
Where both kings and peasants
Priests and flocks
Bankers and customers
Toyed with the infectious apparition
Ignorant of its ravenous nature
Time continues its partner
Tiptoeing surreptitiously
From party ice cream
Through adolescent hormonal voracity
Into awakened narcissism
Clever its disguise
Masquerading upwards through corporate
Domestic
Spiritual safe havens
Where waning immunities
Await ready infection
Long ago
The child giggled
Birthday cake and gifts
So innocent
Gluttony and greed remained
Unknown enemies
Until...

Sky aglow upon your reflection
Blue eyes of glass bestowing affection
A symphony segueing perpetually,
A Psalm of praise ascending gradually
One by one you extend along,
Road by road you chant this song
Heights you reach, you soar, you shimmer,
Your translucent eyes they shine, they glimmer
With pride you stand, built to build
A future ignited with glory, fulfilled
Your widening roofs, a reflection of sun
Amidst thy beauty, all beauty has begun
Abraj of Dubai… Decorum of future
Adornment of sky
Abraj: The plural form of the Arabic word “Burj” which means tower
