"Be Very Afraid"

Society Said.

Sounds that bridge insanity with the
World in denial, that spurns suffering
With a metallic high-heel shoe, some
Borax and a 1950's man with a plaster
Grin smoking a pipe of stagnation
In his lazy chair chuckling
Through the whole affair.

The people are kernels in
Microwave popcorn; they are the
Bits of sugar flaking off crystallized
Ginger; they are the streaks of paint in
An abstract museum; they are water in a dog's bowl.

You know the kind, that nod but don't agree,
That say but don't believe, that smile but
Do not see, that lust but do not love,
That hoard but but do not give,
That threaten knives but
Do not even own that
Gleaming shiv that
Maims, but stab
With disdain.

Demons that walk on two legs,
That propel themselves with
Grease and sideburns, that
Feed on the flesh of trees,
They munch wood pulp and
Turn it into tar and
Asphalt. Stay away
From those fellas;
They are everywhere;
So hide in your home,
Hoard up silver!
Hoard up gold!
Hoard up crypto!
Hoard up soul.

Be very afraid and
Spread the mechanism
To all connectors that
Modulate the roiling mass,
Humanity that burnt its finger,
Vehicles that vomit nicotine &
Move through all the clean
Spaces with the a filthy
Brush that kisses you
With uranium and
Cyanide.

In a way it is very sad. Many say that the people themselves have to wake up and arise to the destruction of everything that is natural and good. This is a crazy world and sometimes I feel that I should not be here because everyone else's values are so self serving at the destruction of everyone else. Very poignant poem d-pend and unfortunately true! Thank-you!

Yes... it is the people's choice, we all must awaken to the Truth because we share the response-ability. I can completely relate to your feeling of not belonging here at times. In reality, we are from somewhere else. We agreed to come here to serve this planet and bring about a better future. It really is a beautiful thing, but we must work hard every day to forgive ourselves and others in order to stay in an optimistic mindset. It is very hard, but also very rewarding. Thanks for your support as always @cabbagepatch and have an awesome day!!!

Thank-you too @d-pend. Sometimes I think this world is going crazy but then I meet grounded and sincerely good people. It give me hope and happiness. Here's to a fantastic upcoming week!!! :D

Pollution The problem of the times increases the shortness of breath and poisoning plants
Increasing the temperature of the ground and melting snow is a big problem but the countries are only interested in profit
