The Sun of Man

The Sun of Man

with genocidal thoughts and intentions

the Legions of the Dark

multiplied upon the consciousness of men

arming our personas

with instruments of War and Death

such as Greed

racism

prejudice

bias

indifference

politics

religion

sexism

and me-ism

the schism betwixt men

grew wider

as we scrambled to hold on

to what last vestiges of righteousness

we could find

even if it was borne of “Self”

we were drowning

in the bottomless pools

of our own regurgitations

of maligned and self serving doctrine

and dogma

and the dog Ma bought me

died in the baking Sun

of truth

fried in sayings of sooth

as the frayings

of the inane

who would call themselves humane

began to unravel

we have traveled this way before

have we not ?

for i still smell the stench

the rot

of the festering souls

who are ingesting the dreams

of the children yet unborne

yet to come

what sum do we seek

this week

as we peek at our fears

in the prismatic tears

that reflect the light of souls

and in that sliver of recognition

the conditions are altered

as our once twisted visions

takes position

that we may see our own color

while tasting the fragrance of possibilities

as it’s perfumed and intoxicating essence

wafts through the gentle breeze

of our awareness

begging us to please

take notice

and we know this

to be true

for that Messiah in you

spoke that this day would come to be

when genocidal thoughts and intentions

the Legions of the Dark

would embark on this quest

to consume the light of man

the Sun of Man
