The Death

by sibyllene   Aug 5, 2006


Why the world's treasure
is plundered by dark, the thunder
of stark and cunning intention-
of promise that breaks, while the
audience fakes just affronted
ambivalence, and truth's last suspension...

It's more than I know-
why we reap what we sow, why the
blinking dead silence continues to grow
with the chatter of formless mouths watching
the battery, seeing so flatly
all good's final show.

The worst of the worst,
the shattering burst, the slow
desecration of spirits with thirst-
The blind and the breathless
will bind all who cry, lest
the hopeful ask why we let sacredness die.
