Frankenstein's temple

sorenbarrett

Nature's effortless law

Breath reflexively,

no exertion

Hearts beat unconsciously

Flowers bloom without thought

Culture's iron gate's rusted

Chain's links of laws,

locked with moral padlocks

Society a sepulcher,

religion's painted urn,

no matter how pretty the tomb

the occupant's dead

Frankenstein's patched zombe parts,

technology's creation,

beauty embalmed,

with plastic flowers,

on cold polished marble stone

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks for the read and comment. Interesting question. Many have tried to pick moral's locks but few have succeeded without consequences.

              The great pivot in your piece - culture certainly has much to answer for. Only solution: interrogate at all times.
              A well painted picture, Soren.

                  Hey Soren - good to feel a little understood sometimes Isn't it.....

                  PS: You put something on my Nostradamus piece ... disappeared... was it my trigger finger or wot?
