Glasses smudged

Vision blurred by particulates

Hazy recognition

Greyed out definitions

Propositions for life

Driven by opposition to

And from indifference

Inferred from compositions

Hollowed out and shallow filled

With blood thinned

By water set to dry.

Others sent to try and recollect

The pieces lost in transitional

Phrases

Disjointed and derailed

Slamming screeching shrieking

Grinding glaring gleaming

Riddled with ringing

Singing through the bottom

Breathing at the top

Tangled and entangled

In affairs outside our expertise.

Silent when shouting is due

Confused cacophony

Proclaiming stupidity

Otherwise known as followers

Disciples of those that blind

Those that cordon off the rights

Set paces for sight

Dim the lights

For those we say are dear.

We worship the oppressors

By indulging in the inane voices

Repeating the words we learned

While they were meaningless

Until they defined us subtlety

Even until they own us.
