Misanthropic Melodies

Misanthropic melodies played from a broken violin
Prehistoric prophecies that ignite new ideas before they begin
Telescopic telomeres that formulate a scientific grin
Endoscopic X-rays and a doctor drunk on gin

Valiant human beings with virtue among the discord
Salient quandaries and dreams that elevate the reward
Radiant memories and detailed memes that stimulate a discourse
Gradients of mathematical themes that fracture reality without remorse

Incidental acrimony fuelling another vociferous debate
Segmental solidarity gruelling resilience and the need to escape
Consequential fundamentals as primal urges are seen as innate
Tangential meanderings filled with resistance, loss, grief and hate

Brightening of a solar flare across the midnight sky
Frightening of a violent stare as we stop and question always why ??
Enlightening grace laid free to bare
as on our knees we cry
Lightning strikes a Eucalyptus tree as depression leads to an eternal sigh

Political subjugation, segregation and melancholy
Empirical consolation, degradation and true human folly
Subliminal obligation, defamation and hegemony
Hypocritical documentation, expectation and a generation of anxiety and worry

Ultimatum from a stern maternal warning on the computer screen
Vegetation and global warming fuelling amniotic dreams
Congregations of dissent forming as we rely on seeing through the scenes
Of condemnation, politicisisation and exploitation of innocent themes

Delusional disfigurements of figurative speech
Intrusions legitimate fugitives that leach
Off infusions of belligerent plastic people lining on the beach
Confusion and belittlement keep the truth from the masses just out of reach

Lauren Bacall, Fred Astaire, Voltaire, Borges and Calvino
A long train haul, a vacant stare,
a game of chess and an honest casino
A masquerade ball, Elvis’ hair, and a smouldering volcano
Standing tall among it all, though hard to bear, but what would we know?

The End
