“Messes and Paintings” (to be continued)

“Messes and Paintings”

3/25/11

(Epilogue:

Huge rocks and stumps
torn away briars ripping
bizarre colors of night
twisting along darkness
trash and garbage
soiled diapers amiss
nasty windless smells
yet grand paintings
portraying illusions
immune to the truth.)

(1)
“Regarding the Messes”

Dumpsters unavailable
burning ashes or embers
consuming without end
more and more found
once hidden now open
once ignored now there
sheering away chastity
morale only a laugh
dismounted askew
regarding all around
mostly just the messes!

(2)
“Unthinking Respect”

Haughty silence abroad
media only telling lies
unmistakable ignorance
unthinking respect
unearned rapture
hues and descriptions
fatally amid beauty
skin deepened oil
never one for view!

(3)
“Authority”

Ill given or taken
lacking depth below
quit claimed often
differing in deference
granting favors quick
authority so without
ignoring accountability
abusing responsibility
hysteria never profound!


(4)
“The Greatest Enemy”

Blandly floundering
treading water slow
illusions reflections
mirrors blackened all
each person unseen
thus unknowingly hid
the greatest enemy
everywhere known
always within oneself!

(5)
“A Monumental Example”

Fleetingly to more forward
setting forth an example
teachings others of ill-will
granting favors all about
beguiling and seducing
more hot than the sun
spewing lava as lies black
a monumental example
everything gone past
nothing able to last
wherein evil to taste!
