From Aries to Pisces,

herein lies the golden-orbed saviors,
grunting and hustling
across the globe
to find
a pious zealous man
and bring him to
visit the Dark Angel below the sea,

herein lies
a dead leader
in a red country
inhabited by sunken cheeks
and the optimism and fear
in their
hollowed eyes,

herein lies
a dead inventor
of overrated gimmicks
men consider wonders
and substantial of life

herein lies
the tragedy of a man
starry-eyed at the red blinking lights of the street light,
having the jovial thought of a
fat jolly white bearded man leaving gifts next to his
pink plastic tree near the garbage disposal where he resides,

herein lies
life taken...
and
life given...
and
never noticing the forward momentum of which time goes by
