Adorned: with their petals of Thorns

 

fickle their poetry| that serenades and depicts

with such beauty

utilising: those same words| as used to bind

in unacknowledged servitude 

within their pages| of Manmade rules…

 

fickle that grandiose illusion| of protection 

afforded on the whim| of those perpetual Icons

of intemperate disappearance tricks 

with their beguiling safe havens| switched

to necklace pearls of shackling surnames

 

fickle their belated| rolled out carpets 

with pretence of welcoming - those belittled

as mere procreation tools| to shores of aesthetic - equal status 

while in denial of their own action’s: ramifications

establishing| that Sea of separation, drowning Humanity’s worth 

 

fickle those Bystanders, like me

that share their heart’s unbridled, clasping tight

their beloveds hands

while skilfully skirting: those borders of equality’s trenches

blinking egregious ignorance| over their blatant awareness…
