bored

Water tower park
An icon of the Midwest
our backyard
a majestic play land
The sand pit of mystery

----------------------------------
Pacing on meat and potatoes
no core practice
distinguished one size fits all
brought sheer malice

indulgence in mass markets
silk lining and brass tacks
market of faith
sprauled out dreams

indolence set
lounge back

forlorn the future
screams the commentor
beware powers that be
shouts the pundit

forsaken the poor
reads the prophet
by blood and faith
cries the redeeming son

hear no evil
see no evil
speak no evil
says the blind man?

drawing down time
like the eternal flower.
lies fed
overbearing narrations

fire and damnations
spouts from hell
beckoning fear
hope nowhere near

peddles dwindle down
it was written in sand
and as the tides come
it's washed anew
