a
wall
of
death
names
scribbled
onto
old
decaying
wooden planks
of
history
those
souls
lost
in ignorance
believing
that
online propaganda
could
somehow
or
should
rebuke
science
so
they
joined hands
forming
a circle
around
their misconceptions
to
shield
those
within
but
those
within
all
died
but
the protectors
cheered on
by
the patrons
of
greed
and
power
couldn’t see
the
obvious
for
they
were
looking
outward
facing
the blinding
light
of
truth
unable
to
see
the carnage
of
their
blind beliefs
bodies
piled
high
into
eternity
such a fragile shell that holds this thing called life with the center as the soul how easily life shatters with the slightest force so it is surprising how man willingly discards his most precious gift from the gods forfeiting existence for the void of vanity or the illusion of allegiance some merchants will without hesitation sell the souls of others no matter the duration of their existence young or old matters not as long as there’s a profit to be made traffickers of inhumanity tossing aside the broken lives as if chaff in the wind so it is that so many lives end some even before they’ve begun for madmen rarely see beyond themselves
lungs
filled with drops
of
death
children
drowned
in
others’ ignorance
babes
that couldn’t swim
in
the strong currents
of
political ambition
where
swift waters
of
self-obsession
pull
the innocent
into
the undertow
of
unofficial
campaign rhetoric
but
grave side mourners
should be
comforted
the dead
will be offered
prayers
from
their assassins
offered up
in
a voice
as
familiar
as
any traitor
of
life
a child appears to be school-age the lifeless form was found lying in a hospital bed breathing tubes in place no evidence of foul play but the parents reported the child was forced to go to school without a mask governor’s mandate and although the governor’s fingerprints were not found at the scene of the crime on the child’s body given the passage of time to death he remains the prime suspect
what is the line between cruelty and kindness how is it that the same people who are offered blessings by some are easily murdered by others who have no compassion in their eyes just loathing sadly humans see what they believe
the insanity
that
envelops
the
lust
for power
defies
definition
a madness
that
seeks
to
defy
death
but
death
will come
carrying with it
all
the lives
destroyed
by
one individual
an individual
who
sought
to
conquer
an invisible enemy
one
cloaked
in
the musky darkness
of
eternity
wearing damp robes
that
easily
extinguish
the
light of life
but
who’s
more than willing
to
offer
to
all
fools
a trojan horse
of
infinite power
and
untold wealth
what shall we place on america’s gravestone here lies a nation aborted by its greed and intolerance of its own history or an unborn promise made with its fingers crossed concealed behind a back of hate and prejudice all the while scripting words constituting a justification for continuation of an oligarchy but with more than one king a feudal state with all the trappings of the middle ages
