Dustbowl of Another Kind
Hegemonic power is disintegrating society into
Deserts and dunes of human Diagenesis.
The Physical…
Rain depositing foreign elements
Oil dependency slowly seals our atmosphere
Logging runs rampant with population explosion
A species slowly succumbing to the Sphincter acid
Of an acrimonious onslaught of the mind.
The Mental…
Too much nonsense
Makes synapses of the brain fragmented
Hate over love is becoming the norm
Compassion pales in autocratic greed
Noise buries silence
Dunes of massive language particles
Smother the contemplative process
The Heart and Mind…
Once a partnership
Now a rivalry
Creating friction of purpose
Sending daily crises into storms of micro-particles
Human arterial soot hampering the blood flow of life.
How Mountainous…
Value to waste is becoming
Misinformation crushing facts into
A foundation of misanthropic groundings
Its goal to becoming a salvage yard of crushed dreams
It’s only a matter of time
