Too Much Order
A Poem
Perfectly round dreams
Where all meaning is profound
Are unknown to nature
Not found outside concentric circles
Trapped in stagnant ponds
Products off denatured minds
Abhorrent in their cleanliness.
Born to view the forest with dismay
Recoiling from its varied sounds
Preferring to march in order
Than let the masses fall into disarray.
The wild things claim our spaces
Calling out our souls
Faces turned in primal screams
Begging us to join their feral song
Add our voices in the round.
Lacking beauty on the surface
They delve deeper underground
Excavating holes
To later fill with bodies
Ones that sat in honour at their feast.
The waves of light
And distant crying
Wash over, through and past
Leaving us standing perfectly still
No longer dreaming.
