Reliable Mask

Ask

For the mask

LASIK on your eyes

Wishing into the skies

With mirrors in hand

Upon a vital crust of land

A mask for the days

And nights

Kept cold on the side

A reliable mask

Creates a classic condition

Of diversion

Western Words

Western words

Fly west like

Western birds

Up to half

From one third

Upon the sun

Lies a soul

Relaxed and combed

With history

Undone

Franchise Virus

The franchise virus

Growing from the roots

Of a dead cypress

Cold pressed nightmares

Held up by titans

Each man has a turn

To flame the words

Caught up on the wings

Of drunken birds

By night

And by day

What the naysayers say

Is the franchise lies

Being manufactured day

And night

The Critical Crown

Critical crown

Lifted up

From the ground

Every single person

From the top down

Cried when we watched

How it came to

A heap on the ground

Unusual as it had been

To see the wickedness of many sins

Compiled into the critical crown

Lying on the dusty ground

Delight Night

Delight night

In the middle of the afternoon

I woke up late

But rose too soon

Licking the cereal

From the crest of

The spoon

Take me in early

Take me in at noon

Delight night

And evening moon

Pebble of Power

Upon the discovery of power

People change

They plan rearrange

They insist on more

Rather than less

Have no hope of giving

In times of distress

How can a pebble of power

Turn into a stone

Cold

Heart

Automated Data

Automated data

Calculated

And summed

Below

Our fingers buzz

In a day

And age

When the brain

Is a reduction

To a machine

Of production

For

Hesitation Feign

The hesitation feign

Gets no satisfaction

From action

Or helping others

Just in waiting

Sitting

Conflating the truth

In a soundproof booth

Hanging hopes of the people

In a line to dry

While we all are getting older

He just

Can’t try

The Burnout Generation

Burnout generations

Millennials have become

What is strange

What has come undone

When the ordinary

Is so taxing and hard

To make ends meet

To see through

The clutter

Burnout generation

Like no other

The Eroding Fight

Eroding fights

Helpless plight

Unchained fall

Who can call

Why the business

Suits

Failed us all

A fight with a plan

Set up by a man

To see an agenda

To see where

He can send us

In an eroding fight

Right down

To the last night
