very much akin to a song,
depeche mode's the policy of truth:
the 80s?
music-wise?
          not a bad decade,
if you look into it...

    mind you: there's a policy of truth,
which is why i never
understood the economics of lies...
all the backtracking,
the erosive nature of lies,
having to remember a lie,
and the narrative structure,
mind-boggling...
which brings me to a key observation:

ever watch a bird of prey?
i once spotted a kestrel sitting
on my fence, looking, "seemingly" idle...
but ever watch a bird of
prey (say, a kestrel)
in flight?

           when you do,
you won't see any birds flying,
other than the bird of prey...
and unlike other birds,
that seem to be going somewhere,
traversing the sky
like spitfires or messerschmitt
in a: from wherever to... wherever...
birds of prey,
akin to vultures...
circle...
               and encircle,
hone...
                  the only birds that do...
no other type of bird circles
around a target,
as if revving to build up
the plunge momentum...

still... the little dogs will out-bark
the bigger dogs...
while the bigger dogs?
just plunge into a bite...
  as ever...
      it's fascinating how wolves
can't bark, but howl.

And we keep on fighting
Teeth and ****** nail

Hair ripped
Out

Lip fat with a
Quick left punch

Heat beating from your
Sweat dripped
Skin

Satisfaction

Worthwhileness

These things

To prove
That this life
Is worth

A

****

If you've got nothing to show
Nothing to die for
Nothing to say to oneself
Under a hot hushed
Breath

Then

What's the

Point?

I was not born to be a machine

I was born to live the life of a man

I was born to live

To die

To honor a life I did not choose to begin

But I see millions of faces
Concerned about
The million other
Moving faces

And everything makes such
Clear but
Peppered
Sense to me

Truth is in a droplet of rain
Resting in the womb
Of a newly sprouted tree leaf

Truth stares from one of the Greats
Early works

Not from the glare
Of quick screen smile
Promoting a life unreal

Stories are told today
In a fashion
That only makes the masses fat

We are getting very

Easy

We are getting

Very very

Easy

And as I lay back with my eyes
Towards a sky I know I'll
Never journey through

I am curious what,

If there be one,

Will be our wake up call?
