New Year

the people form different factions

as circles form different fractions

 

the state of nature given the odds

no matter if there are zero gods

 

religion is a powerful venom

a strong force, a cloth of denim

 

so is racism and national identity

so many that vie for solemnity

 

human existence is the potent virus

like when Belshazzar battled Cyrus

 

they will succumb badly and violently

and just like smallpox, ever so silently

 

if the power quits as we go over fiscal cliffs

then maybe all the global power shifts

 

in the favor of flags flying yellow stars

then hopes are dashed for going to Mars

 

the Mayan prophecy is coming true

not like this s**t is out of the blue

 

prophets prophesying centuries back

no matter the method, no matter the attack

 

the gators and crocs have lived so long

longer than dance and longer than song

 

predators prey on the weak, always so

like three-by-three is nine, so it goes

 

be it halfs, fourths, eighths and tenths

nature affords us zero recompense

 

man's brutality continues, forward march

like the desert man is always parched

 

victims pile high and are thrown in graves

underneath Europe's roads that are paved

 

remember this as the new year starts

humanity and her nature shall never part

[An owl on the moon]

A powerful, biting word that cuts into the soul of humanity... her history and foolishness all.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thanks, Craig. I am glad for that.

~ true sentiments superbly articulated, monsieur kenneth... despite it all, it's extremely empowering to read the truth in your words... they are delusion-free and real... ~ the few of us who recognize the truth and stand up for justice do matter... it's great that we write and are not silenced... even if it's only to a limited extent... it is something... some light... and that's very welcome... ~ thank you for this post...

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thank you, serah. And happy new year.
