Irrational

Nonsensical sentences that follow no syntax

Syllables stumbling over parted lips

Words worthy of perfection find devastation instead

Malformed abominations writhing in agony

Meaning twisted into grotesque deviations

Counter intuitive and counterproductive

Time lost while untangling subtle sounds

Searching for the significance between the lines

A hidden holy scripture in a sea of lies

 

Existential elitism blending into the foreground

Forethought un-thought in an unthinking world

Take comfort in conformity with bruised and bloody hands

Idealized ideas get killed before they’re born

Original oration gets exiled and ignored

Instead force fed force made repetitious taglines

Lifestyles custom made by cookie cutters

One size fits all, all or nothing, nothing else

Losing decisions makes living easier

 

Philosophical parlor tricks misused and abused

Contorted to constrain to any possible condition

Forced perspective changing old into true and new into fear

Evolution de-evolves to stagnant subservience

Stay seated and keep appendages in the car

Hold hands and stay in line, between the lines, on the line

Told what is needed to know by those that know only what is told

Empty skies hang over empty heads and empty eyes

Between life and death the definition blurs out of focus

 

Rollicking rhetoric that forms in the atmosphere

Creating convoluted clouds of conversation

Condescending condensation falls heavily to Earth

Pools of discarded distinction form drop by drop

Polluted by the heavy soles of heavy souls

Disillusion dissuades from ever looking down

Ignorance creating an ignoring culture

Irreparably scarring the apathetic youth

Phrases phasing between planes of existence
