"Worship"

A Poem by masqued_muse

A poem dedicated to the "Occupiers"...everywhere.

         "Occupy the Emerald City;
           circumvent the greed.
           stand until the crumpled silence
           reaches yonder hill.
          But it remains a pity;
           hearts will always bleed.
           cessation of violence,
           targets lighter kill.

          Mind changes will to bone;
           novel prospects, dread.
           Windows' vaulted mysteries
           lofty eyes retreat.
          Hunger is best intoned;
           when keepers are fed,
           hopelessness makes history,
           media loves meat.

          Cannibal convention;
           appetite for treason,
           sanctity is mealtime,
           breathless shallow days.
          Animal intention;
           starving with the season,
           facing loss in real time,
           everybody prays....
