Subversive Heart

From the full moon
To our crescent smiles
I feel so marooned
I love you in denial

In post stages waning

Star shot and spangled
My mind is a terrorist
To this patriotic heart entangled
Rationalism alas the rapist

To which there is no abstaining

Capitalism now the escapist
How he makes an art of deception
The utter illusion that love exists
Inception of moral contraception

A fascist breeding to tyrannical realism

Is it my heart or my mind that dictates?
Dishevel of concrete and the abstract
Makes the head ache and the heart break
As the agnostic conscience is attacked

By a conflict of interest in cognitive idealism

Have the politics of love mucked up the plain?
Making me wage another war deep within
Causing senseless suffering and crippling pain
Or is it just me wanting what I can’t have again?
