Mouse and Man

Flee, escape, disappear!
The mouse scurries the maze
conditioning its safety from fear.

Nature so controls the Giant of nature puppeteer --
of the Field he masterfully razes.
Flee, escape, disappear!

Natural tendencies, he excites the Will of Fear;
the Voices of Education that was so raised:
conditioning its safety from fear.

Duality raised from forces so near,
hemispheres convergent in own domestic Lair.
Fear, escape, disappear!

The blind and the deaf have nothing to fear
he who questions does not dare:
conditioning its safety from fear.

Stroke some Genius without a tear.
For it has found its sanctuary mare
Flee, escape, disappear!
Conditioning its safety from fear.

The Herd

Enclosed in a niche of an inconstant ocean,
there's tranquility in the collapse of an
ever constant day.
From the awakening of our Lords,
that command their toy soldiers
to consume, produce, and kill.
What's the difference? Really.
Once water in our hands,
later cyanide in their eyes.
Torture. Who could care less?
Really.
Sharpen their weapons,
load the arsenal,
recite our allegiance --
what a wonderful spectacle
Fascism is.
No need for liberty and democracy;
when everyone has nothing, ergo,
we have everything.
No capitalist hoarders to tell us
to command the post of the same
factory of production that
creates ignorant beings of consumption.

This wonderland that granted me perpetual
satisfaction in the quotidian inevitability
of an undying die...
Threatened by those who claim
the merit of freedom in
the West.
How I scoffed when
their heads went flying to the West
after I reported to the General.
Agonizing eyes that tried to pierce
through my soul -- spelling "how can
you do this to your brethren" --
stopped by my iron wall of
indifference.
The more time that passed the less
I cared about the sharp slitting sound
of the knife as it crucified their
fates while I sat in my chair eating
pork that looked like their countenances
fat.
Like a lost lamb, I found myself in the herd...
20 heads mean nothing.
We're all satisfied because
the other is.
Does it really matter?
Frankly, I don't care.

By the way, this was supposed to be a satire, and a critical short story. If that didn't get through, well, I'm that much of a terrible person. Just kidding.

The Flame That Does Not Wane

Time crosses the waning man;
at a crossroad, standing 
where he can. 

The convergence of demand,
paths he must isolate, damn; 
for no matter what, reprehended 

Is anyone who has a path; 
unlike the fluxing flow of Fire, igniting unpunished;
For its flame can handle the wrath

Of an undying tide of trouble, imperishable. 
Immeasurable capacity, for its audacity 
Galvanizes its spirit for triumph. 

Leaving behind a Trail of Tears, 
its tail wanes gloriously --
a flame that never flees.
