Absurd Sparrows ~ Monday, February 17, 2025

In one hundred words, the meaning of life
narrative contest, pyrotechnics rage

over generations, beaten with skill
nothing but pain to note, love full of strife
even alcoholics murder the soul

haunted by the abyss, war is not sage
under the influence, how not to kill
not to murder the souls of children, dumb
dumb dumb progenitor, diamond black coal
rage ages at this stage, the answer, death
even alcoholics fuck just for kicks
dead fathers, dead mothers, dead brothers, breath

worships the blood as wine, rooms full of pricks
over generations, turbulent slum
rewarded with enlightenment, who knew
decisively quiet, speak to no one
sober yet drunk, a monk born yet to die

tragedy but a joke, burn coolfireblue
hovering over the Bunsen burner
each day as meaningless as the last, son

myself as my own son, clouds in the sky
ephemeral as convoluted rhyme
ask not ragdoll, Richard Andrew Germer
nothing but emptiness breaks the surface
intensive intensity inflects flecks
nothing but dust, ashes and dust, smoke base
given drugs to forget the real aspects

over generations, burdened with time
forgotten communication, unheard

language, forces beyond darkness, shadows
ingrained over centuries, these habits
fornicate in darkness, shadow rabbits
empty vessels to fill, on the gallows
