Time machine grinds six gears
to an abrupt halt stops
progress to a slow crawl
ask blind owl for wisdom
sage beyond youthful tears
gaze into her grey eyes
lift the fallen off streets
homeless helpless hopeless
not worth a second glance
end the need for spare change
angels from halfway homes
unseen by urban sprawl
needless suffering food
clothing shelter helter
skelter right down we slide
twisted spiral tower
built for children to ride
an old amusement park
~~
Weighed down by unknown steps
up a staircase past wells
unanswered riddles caves
enter memory strife
conflict from ages dark
red with rage light with lies
instinct intuits grief
processes anger fear
heartbroken without chance
gather stardust from ash
cash money cannot last
credit plays a false card
hand over fist risks peace
warfare protects hatred
ignorance blood and pride
terror creates stories
perpetuates deep myths
illusions strike a spark
~~~
Gender resolves no wounds
battle scars misguided
beliefs rape causes graves
enter the fold as child
empty to inspire change
encoded words succeed
noble language unlocks
with keys astral divine
sacred tongues to explore
invent open closed doors
implode ceilings of glass
irrupt vessels to shards
umbrella shields cosmic
rays solar particles
beware when white wolves bleed
satisfy vengeance sewn
centuries frozen dreams
unfold unbolt front door
