Elections,
Wikileaks,
Campaigning, voting,
The rigged systems,
The illusion called
Democracy,
Adults waving phones
Chasing
Pokemon.

So many living
Fairytale lies
Hiding, disguising,
Troubled lives,
As we watch
As some explode
One often wonders
Might society implode.

If I would
Have known
You would haunt me
Forever,
Would I have
Followed
Your soft touch
To the gateway
Of heaven.

Is there someone
Playing Machiavelli’s
Violin in the darkness,
Is there someone
Edging race on race
Culture on culture,
Is there someone
Who benefits from
Strife and turmoil,
Is there someone
Fiddling pandemonium
In the darkness.

In that early morning,
In from a walk
In the rain,
Dripping,
Smiling,
Peeling off
Wet things,
Rushing over
To cuddle and warm
Your naked charms,
In that early morning,
Did you ever think
It would end up
The way it has.

He stared out the window
Waiting for the train,
Sad thing was
No tracks in the lane,
She danced in the mirror
Waiting for her guy,
Sad thing was
Couldn’t remember he died,
Strange thing the mind,
So sad what it does.

The mystical world
Of feathers
That makes
You laugh,
Makes you cry,
Makes you sneeze,
Tempts you to fly,
Where when
Your body is traced
By feather fingers
You’re left
Feather floating
High.
