Devil's IllusionA Poem by Morgan Purcell
My lack of understanding
more than words Materialistic drive Neurons fire without a response Why the blood-thirst for new Immediately consumed and discarded possessions? Why the obsessive compulsion for straight lines? When bends and curves hold windswept novels Give me natural beauty But love above all Earthly chained to colonized bills Mindlessly swapped With no lasting gratification The brief endorphin injection fades Leaving only the hellish insatiable hunger for more green flesh The devil himself contently laughs The illusion nearly convincing all God gifted life The very experience stripped of all profound meaning Reducing a miracle to backstabbing and clawing over deceased trees Have mercy on us Lord hedes slight of hand has blinded our hearts hijacked our senses Bless the underground revolutionaries Those who see through the beasts cheap card trick Fight on Brothers and Sisters The cause may be lost but remains just. © 2013 Morgan PurcellAuthor's Note
