The RuinsA Poem by Malcolm J. WattObservations from the spirit.The Ruins
The glittering towers Of the great city, cities Plastered across most noble globe Populated by the emancipated Pure artificers of everything precious
The grand display, the spectacle machina The exultation of unfettered desire The summation of the unlimited All connected by wave and wire A collective voice to shout Across the universe.
In defiance of governing love This undeniable grasping flesh Powered by the eyes of imagination Builds these mausoliums anew Upon the ruins of life From which it sprang In the mindless worship That is only mass suicide.
How will life eat the death? Will it feast upon the made corpse That was fed so many generations? Doesn't love renew life Upon the marriage bed? When will this mating occur Of life free of it's ruins? The answer is always, soon. © 2012 Malcolm J. Watt |
