Garlands of Jackal Diadem Anthologies

Missing image

Diaries of postulated legalese legerdemain,

festoons of crowning avaricious gospels,

erected as ivory towers muffled predator howls,

where whitewashed Superman paragons

hold court behind their haloed masks

over the cemeteries of scandal.

 

Sleeping spirit of Neo destiny

languishes in rhetoric swamp,

while loud speakers blare

subliminal rote acquiescence.

 

Eyes of the slumbering

haunted by freedom's fluttering mirages,

vision flashes on landscape

told is pristine,

between the layers of pontificated fog

catch a glimpse of its lunar clarity

and the pockmarks of crater inequity,

but symphony from circus of appeasement

despoils the gaze.

 

Stumbling while standing on conveyor belt

to mandated lobotomized lucidity,

falling and at last noticing the plastic automaton veneer,

barely visible on the mars to nobility's raiment.

 

Hibernating seer awakes,

rises as butterfly for truth.
