Wash it down

sorenbarrett

The rotting corpse of a fragrant rose

sprouts from ditritus of a peaceful war

watered with the talking bullets of thought

empty shells on a pharmaceutical shore

 

The insanity of normality

infects news tattered brains

to stampede in lockstep

toward a black hole of inevitable gains

 

A doily of crocheted lace

woven by Arachne's hand

portraying beauty and disgrace

painted in ichor on time's sand

 

excreting the stench of neutrality

from the maggots of modern road kill

An infants sigh, intrauterine smile

Technology's morning after pill

    Brilliant!
    (sleek, sweat drenched and sick
    we swallow lies as facts of surreal
    wash it down
    with that blue and red pill, Hollywood
    spider's in our horizons
    cobwebs rooting our steps
    swimming to fly
    running to find a peaceful sleep
    straining to relax serene
    we progress with each blink of regress
    and smile, those surgical white teeth
    while inside
    our heart's are rotting gangrene
    still, a new dawning
    and our clown masks appear
    bright and eager
    daring to dream, daring to believe
    in a better, once promised
    to our great, great, great, great, great
    kin
    yeah, we wait! knowing
    one way or another, death
    will deliver
    mercy to those kids on deathbeds
    worldwide
    gifting hope, in each brave smile
    with eyes shut tight
    baring a pain, they'll never comprehend..)
