is it really a boon to be uneducated
and be followers of its tragedy

to the detriment of healthy truths
to the denying of facts

to the worship of the wealthy
to the denying of Humanity?

no right turn
because you went left

now down the street
straight to the end

carrying your cross
and crosses can multiply

keeping on keeping on
staggering onward

you leave the moment behind
praying to be found, praying

darkness explored is darkness disarmed
even with one candle flame

rattling here today
a tongue lolling out the side of the mouth tomorrow

some have their opinion constantly broadcast
almost deafeningly so
but it fades like all opinions with a deathbed rattle.

there is you
and there is
the you
that is seen
in public

some make gossip their main business of the day
living for the next supposed scandal-
just so long as its not themselves talked about
