Zephyr has written
On the wall.
Whisper vague,
Tainted creativity
Squelched in staccato.
Spasmodic surrealists breach
Scintillating shenanigans and
Reverberate in decibels
To permeate the
Richter scale of normalcy.
Patterns of paranoia
Neglect to
Properly subdue
The mesmerized kinetic energy
Of the crowd.
Intent to create
An inferior product.
Infallible from its
Claim to freedom.
Fragile facade crumbles into oblivion.
Its euphoria is
Empty echo
Disturbing the willfully deaf.
So convincing it's contagious.
The lies consume the concrete.
Wide eyed stares of the complacent
Shriek blame at every turn
But their own,
Coincidentally,
Fanning the flame.

So many possible meanings. Makes me think of the city, for some reason, somewhere in California, San Diego or San Fransisco. Just the feel that I get...
"Disturbing the willfully deaf," I love that line. It's the best of several awesome ones.
Thanks for entering my contest, and best of luck! -
I like that it's a poem completely open to anyones interpretation.
