Trickle-Down Tyranny


Trickle-down tyranny trumps the sweet and natural hum, the wind and howl, the air and breath slain by boom, rattle and thump!

Come and sit beneath the stars and heed the whisper of all, bring your power in numbers to a fresh and vital call.

No more can we linger, no more can we remain, while they hone the sword of tyranny and plunge it through our veins!

No more can we hold our speech, no more can we wait for death to rear its head from waste surging hard beneath!

Come and sit under the stars and talk of things that matter, come camp with your brethren and bravely hold back the clatter.

The landscape, it is shifting, turning red and orange, calling on us to embrace her loving wind and begin to be the change.

If we fail her now, we’ll lower our Love to her crypt to never rise again, she’ll breathe away our memory and once more begin.

Come! Sit beneath the stars and watch the shadows glance, move with the wind as music for a loving surge and dance.

No more can we linger, no more can we remain, while they hone the sword of tyranny and plunge it through our veins!

No more can we hold our speech, no more can we wait for death to rear its head from waste surging hard beneath!

Come and sit under the stars and talk of things that matter, come camp with your brethren and bravely hold back the clatter.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. .
