Until they find a cure
for avarice and greed
the just will stand alone
Until they combine
the system as caste
vicissitude sits on the throne
Until they end
starvation and blight
world hunger forever abides
Until their love
is retendered anew
— Ascension forever denied

pretty holy
This poem is another in your particular style Kurt. It holds the same splendor as your others do. Nicely done
So kind of you, thanks.
Most welcome Kurt
Kurt, this reads like a modern lamentation. Each conditional names a failure we recognize, and the final denial of ascension lands with sober clarity. A disciplined, powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Again, your feedback is most appreciated.
You're welcome!
