Frenzy

Frenzy 10/10/2014

Strike in the day

And fly by the night

Hiding under ground

With a mask on their face. 

The bloody after math

Is nothing new

As the weights are added

Until everything falls apart

In a frenzied horror. 

No one can admit

That the ship is sinking

So they tie themselves up

Like pretzels

Stumbling in a Byzantine maze.

Moral relativism

And situational ethics

Play many as fools

While the ropes fray

And the foundation burns.

The games go on

As if nothing is wrong

As we follow our noses

To the gallows

Or kneel at a ditch. 

The dirt is shoveled

And the histories are scrubbed

But that cannot change the truth

Rotting in the grave.

Just because we say it

Doesn’t make it true

As reality screams in the distance

Even if,

We will not hear.     

Judging me and judging you

Many are those

Consumed by pride

Educated, but not intelligent

Willfully blinded, and dumb. 

It took a long time

For me to awaken

But I am not the only one

Awake in the night. 

Staring up at the ceiling

And thinking about thinking

Ruthlessly evaluating

All that I have done

And all that, I should do.

The world sleeps

And watches popular programing

Carefully crafted shadows

To obscure, and delude.

Mesmerized and manipulated

To believe the indefensible

As we all race to the bottom

Of oblivion. 

Let them race ahead

And lean into it

Taking what is theirs

And eaten by the dogs.
