divine madness
I am caught between mirrors
while clowns with painted faces
reflections of the infinite
ignite the cobwebs in my head
surrounded by a heavy veil of darkness
with a continuous oratorical ramble
where lost souls roam the streets
citing some lame excuse
like rabid dogs in heat
for the ineptitude and incompetence
no bounds, no borders
perpetrated upon us
where wealth is accrued
a melodrama of words
and then wagered
beheaded and disemboweled
with delusions of deliverance
woven, spun, bound together
in the light of new ideas
a choreography of language
fused by logic and reason
inciting and inspiring
with natural instincts
these word and images
opposing out-dated moralities
twisting and turning in my brain
and decaying values
curl like a coital knot of snakes
a torrid entrapment
drowning in a stream
beneath the shadow
of consciousness
of the street corner gurus
a stagnant water, without any depth
singing the suburban blues
I turn off the TV
as these young lions roar
and write a poem.
