Beyond Detection

the wizards are at war
the emerald city breached
swarming with flying monkey bots

winged rhesus droids
were meant to protect
against unseen invaders

blood pirates
and citadel stormers
too small for the eye

beyond the detection
of the ruby-slippered

hard-working scarecrows
scared-stiff iron blokes
spineless brainy lions

instead
not high enough
the nano primates
got hopped up
on GMO enhanced poppies
stolen sugared shortbread

there will be no more
domestic bliss for the simple
for the resistant, wise, and learned

no more walks in the woods
for shamans and sorcerers
healers and magi

even
in hind-sight
the not-so-wicked
witches

it's submit
join the wired opiated
or end your rainbow
in the dark halls
of the unaltered
shut in

Light to the Dark Mirror

human vessel
a clutter of concepts
images and membranes

en masse

a blurred cityscape
agitated and distressed
progressing rapidly

have, be, have, be

human presence
limitless capacity
clenching conduit
impulsively trying
to decipher itself

extinguish doubts
and base thoughts
make connections
communicate compassion
gain mutual understanding

focus focus focus

vibrational, energetic
hidden atmosphere
shift awareness
inhabit knowing

bring light
to the dark mirror
