fire storm tales
ten points plus
bent marks on the richter scale
costly hidden landmine fuss
gradients on the friction scale
haunting so many lost places
where some of us have dauntless been
battles leaving bloody traces
weeping relevant wounds
marring and scarring life
entrenched brazen politics
always pushing rash poison
stoic nightmarish benchmarks
yearning modern burning nature
a flaming lightshow of schemes it seems
recalling trackless quaking tales
Fukushima and Chernobyl facts
quavering grey to black still
reactionary acts never curtailed
anatomical physics and radioactive goals
noble gas seeping from deep holes
oblate inertia blasting through our physical lives
regret and tears worrying us
driven by so many oblique war torn years
fearlessly washing us over bleached coral shoals
creating endless volcanic craters
shock forging our eternal molten souls
scattering radioactive smoke and ash
a hot mash engorged on incinerated feelings
rearranging trash and atomic grit
such remorseful emotional death
far beyond limiting boundaries
unsound lifetimes full of viral shit
reflecting grimacing diminished life
will normal virtually take a stand
against these informal soundings
roundly leaving complimentary imprints
of our complacent broken selves
all those meaningless tattoos
littering this fragile human landscape
adjacent to this instance exhibit A
inescapable trails of fabled comets
revealing impatient exploded stars
all those expedient faulty things
continual racing to what ever it seems
daily melting virtual down
marginalizing every frail continuance
churning into something bottomless
unfathomable issuance of sink holes
judgement day and exhibit B
remarkable mystery and untold worm holes
light rushing beyond our hearts and souls
fright revealing tragic tortured minds
so much unknown emotional cost
following every mystical winding road
some A listed are plastic prisoners
clustered in iconoclastic work camps
realistically those B enlisted
indentured monotheistic workers
lingering in monotone death camps
enslavement and solitary confinement
razor wire and strategically placed landmines
confirming hated puritanical visions
devoid of every queen and king's wonderland
conferred midways of bright lights
conviviality that appears so grand
such a high fence between us
accommodated with diminished rights
stolen lives nailed to every ordered assignment
eventually joy and happiness is buried by those decisions
roiling eccentric bigotry ruling
following bold concentric racism
cold institutions maintain their firm grip
armed terrorists and heartless fools have a solid hold
unfolding psychosis remanding all the colours of the world
psychotic armies refusing to destroy their steely traps
relinquish control of this human experience
confusing compassionate pairs of more caring hands
freedom must unshackle individual minds
let practical masses and peaceful loving creatures
including simple street and cave people
peacefully inhabiting brave planet earth
continuing this simple revolutionary spin
we're tethered to earth's temple axis
revolving we travel and breathe together
evolutionary moments turning into lifetimes
ablution in this strange space we're always in
goodness will hopefully throw us lifelines
peacefully commit us to this utopic journey
evolving around our flaming atomic star
could the merciful moon ever refuse gravity
reverse confused corruption and depravity
abruptly what if boss forgotten God
remains a lever of creativity
yet God is naturally unforgiving
pro-reactively assuming ourselves
consuming bits of this active universe
forever absorbing fractions
sharing fragmented matter
spatters from distant galaxies
bowing down to divinity's blackholes
perhaps 7 billion years from now
before our shattered star
attentively expands to relentless nova
contentiously our solar system
exists to be consumed
bolts of brazen hydrogen
grazing electromagnetic pulsations
waves of disintegrating helium
such a raging furnace of holy fire
divine love will seem
like some mysterious dream
can this megalithic legend ever come true
avoid contagious war
cradle intricate peace
terminate mass destruction
replace zones of horrible fate
harmony becoming a generous trait
remake the world with peaceful compassion
employ empathic passion
envelope the earth with blessed divine
reflecting universal nuclear fission
diminishing atomic fusion on this earthly mission
integral grapes ripening on a perfect virtual vine
visions of perfect spiritual fruit
sacred water distilled from bitter wine
