Coliseum Crowns

Coliseum Crowns

Televised monotony
Pseudo-celebrity
Coliseum crowns
Placed upon the heads
Of our modern gladiators

We laugh
The laughing fools

While our comedic targets
Live in enslaved freedom

Owning our time and thoughts
But never the truth

We would gladly follow
Away from the truth
Of individuality,
Intellect,
Emotion,
And experience

Microwaved diets
And short-circuited minds

Zombified attachment

No legacy to leave behind

Not if it can't be posted,
Liked, shared, and followed

Actors

Actors

Drama's curtain
Knows no bounds
Since, stated truly:
All the world's a stage

Childish Cadence

Childish Cadence

You think I owe you
That you own my debt
But mine is to a greater calling

You did, indeed, once listen
With a heart
That might just match
The consistently inconsistent
Tones of my voice

My voice, you see
Not only hear, but see
As it mezmorizes
With colors and cadence

But you went blind
The moment you told me
My heart was that of a child's

Grow up!
You said

I need a man!
You said

You're still such a boy!
You accused

You stabbed into the colors
Broke the cadence

And made for yourself
A man

You duel with the broken

Incomplete

But never lost
