EDIFYING

SANDS


Twisted into the jamboree of
existence,

As right becomes wrong by
revelations,
Like nature in its own path as
hatred pats,
Peace; a totem to acquire at the
expense of lives.
Through the time of ages past,
We wear rhymes on the smallest
hype,
With thine in shock of thy
glorious awe,
A stitch that saves only the
strongest pout.


Scattered upon the face of Mother
Nature.

The pixie dust of varying culture.
Monuments of father Abraham’s
auction,
Surrogates of the first man: Adam.
We remain the vanity of creation,
As though failure was created,
From naught to naught we wine and
dine,
Paddling the canoe in a muddy
reality.
Upon souls that yarns for peace,
Thou art the end of justified
means,
The continuous cracks in serenity,
The sand in the pure house.
