For All The Marbles

Stealthily approaching crucifier

Calvary didn't end with Jesus

Nazis and Isis created by the West:

industrial war, population reduction,

extermination, euthanasia, social

Darwinism...so many words convey. 

I had not thought death 

had undone so many.

Playing for keeps. 

Hang on to your keepsakes, they'll

do you little good...even the world 

I grew up in seems ancient history.

Bigwig atrocities, friendless kings,

leaders that lead by power point,

not example.

I'm not complaining...I feel free

of shackles of mind control

of social media morass

of herd mentality, sheeple society,

that drive USA  folks like lemmings.

Take LSD, go for a walk, talk to a 

stranger, make love to your landlady, 

blow bubbles in a bus  station, dance

in the streets, finish a nun with a left
to the ear, get weird because you

actually are one too molded for your

own good. The sleeper must awaken,

the shell broken, sure, it's bright when

the lights turn on at first, but this really

is your world.
