uncivilized

civilizations are
generated out of
a sacred energy
in the soul
of each human
to build & protect––
build & protect

working in unison
mountains of order
are constructed––

no one is lazy
or distracted––
people are resolute
of muscle, heart
& mind

they agree on what
is right & do
no wrong

each grasps
one goal & shares
one dream

& every day is
a song that
every one sings––

as pyramids emerge
from the sand
& cathedrals rise
towards heaven
out of pride & purpose & caring
& love

amerikans are
distracted––
exhausted––
battered by rants
& lies––

hooks ooze
human-fish bait
every where

amerikans are
addicted to them selves
& allergic to others

they cannot hear
others––
cannot see
others––
feel nothing

they are caught
in a magnetic
matrix field
as prisoners &
slaves

leeches attach
in the blood stream––
earbuds close the ears––
shades blind the eyes

they are so unhappy

they need bitcoin––
they need trump
to believe in something

they are suffocating
of over-weight selfishness––
screaming inside
because they can’t
see outside––

all their news is bad
& hope is starving

they need
they need
the honest love
of God

civilization is
a balanced road
to order––
a bridge above chaos––

it naturally expands––
until it ends

each civilization supplies
the air the people need
to breathe––
until it can’t

each marches
in the right direction––
until it doesn’t

American civilization
was founded
on ideals like
freedom and democracy
that are being betrayed
or running away

amerikans are angry & restless &
want war
as soon as possible
to drown all others
as their enemies

the cause is
as irrational
as the effects––

could despair, destruction
& disaster in the world
ever be a conscious,
human choice?

or are forces beyond
our understanding
bending our fates
to their will?
