My Destiny Within (+2)

I bent my will into the wind,

a final last rebuttal

And felt it rage against my soul,

in anger that was total

I pressed again, and then again,

and waited for an answer

It blew back hard, and harder still,

its force a rabid dancer

One last time I pushed it back,

its vortex caving in

Whose fury split in breezes tamed

—my destiny within

(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)

Trapped Within Myself

With words to seal my coffin shut,

I said my last goodbye

To journey down and re-reflect,

on what I said, and why

It’s quiet in my earthen grave,

no light to mark the time

My flesh to rot with bones exposed

—finality unrhymed

 Excommunicado

Death to ethical morality…

 —the secularization of the truth

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

Politice Rectam

Married to correctness,

divorced from the ideal

The truth becomes enigma,

veracity to steal

Facts bury in self interest,

the cheaters run and hide

All trysts a fated exercise

—philandering with lies

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
