IS IT NOT THE SAME HEART ANCIENT,..SINCE ADAM AND EVE?

TO THIS DAY AND AFTER ALL THIS TIME, THUMPING ETERNALLY?

BLOODS THINNER,VEINS CLOGGED,BEATING FASTER,DYING SLOWER;

BYPASSED,SURPASSED, STILL IMPASSIVE, STENTED NOW AND STUNTED,

BOILING ANGERS TURNING THICK, SINEWS IN HATE GRINDING TIGHTER,

VENTRICLES IN DISCONTENT COATED, CHILLED VALVES ICY UNCARING,

ARTERIES PUMPING, BEATING TO THE DRUMS OF HATE,RANT AND RACE,

EVER SO OPEN FOR  GREED, HATE UNREASONED, THE QUICK BUCK STILL,

WELCOMING FENCES,VISAS, HIGH WALLS DIVISIVE AND BARBED WIRES,

RARELY, SO RARELY, DO WE LET IN, THAT ANGEL STRANGE CALLED LOVE,

ALWAYS TIME FOR A MESSIAH, A SHEPHERD,TO BORN AND TRANSFORM,

LEAD US ALL TO THE BRAVE NEW WORLD,TO PEACE AND MANKIND REAL

BREAK THE FISTS CLENCHED TIGHT, MINDS CLOSED  AND SOULS KNOTTED,

MAKE US LIVE, LOVE,SING AND DANCE..EVER FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE.

GODS CANT  BE WAITED FOR,TOO MANY ARE THEY,REMOTE SO CELESTIALLY

HERE AND NOW, WE ARE THE MESSIAHS,THE GODS,FOR ONE AND  FOR  ALL.
Stephen Parker May 2014
A soft, imploring cry
peels from far and wide
from the silted lives of
mercenaries and conscripts,
the coagulated blood of still lifes
leached from stented veins
and strained for national pride

A quiet, solemn echo
bounces off re-sodded hills
and re-capped mountains
of voices muted in their prime
so that indentured revelers
might joyfully trumpet
an unrequited melody
of garnished freedom
and varnished liberty

The curdling wind plays taps
to the itinerant bones
on reefs and ocean bottoms
now hollowed by corrosive waves
of land-faring vagabonds who
continuously pare their calcified genes

Bottled tears that will never drain
remain untapped on distant shores
as their pilfering descendants
salt the museums and memorials
with their gratuitous patronage
Damien Kaniewski Nov 2017
S.S.R.I.s placebos and lies
caught in between generations
I've come to despise

flanked by blatant hypocrisy
pestered by whining naivety

the resultant mental infarct
stented only by seeking
obligatory consolation in art

— The End —
