Got Milk?

blank pages, broken bones

How miracles work for the devil!

woven syllogisms through hairline fractures

enduring lateral streams in this mindless hoax.

On and On, industrial affection

if it works at all, it works for us

ease mistaken for grace

felt only when the thunder whips

the calculating, mechanical rain,

An aftershock.

The law of the universe might not bid the act of love.

Graphite tablets or pencil etchings,

reflect your cares elsewhere.

so long as it all comes back together,

(back to us, or back to love)

metaphysical music to my ears...

[Dane Osborne]

To me this is all about how whether love is really just a concept that we make up to make ourselves feel better. Like the idea of a soul is just man made concept to make understanding existence simpler, I think it is the same thing with love. I think the popular culture/media-industrial complex brainwashing machine created it as a conspiracy to make people (or sheeple?) think that the world works like it does in "The Notebook" and thus do stupid things like get married, have children, and buy hummers on payment plan. Basically, modern life now is just a process where we become consumers out of neccesity. But is it neccesity or slavery?

The goverment wants us to do those things so we can be settled down and give them half of our paychecks for the rest of our lives until we reach 65 years of age. This is why the "Love" conspiracy was invented and they use sappy movies, badly written nicholas sparks novels and bullshit televison shows as tools of
brainwahing.

But....I also don't think we ever put no man on the moon either, so that s**t could just be me LOL

BTW great poem 100/100

ahh your lines just make my eyes pop - "woven syllogisms through hairline fractures" - oh yes! my kind of poetry here - the calculating rain lol no idea why the lol I just saw it sneaking up on me for some reason waiting - the law of the unverse line was interesting - brings back the whole nature/nurture idea - what is love - is it merely a human social construction or thing of the universe hmm!!
