Invented
Tales of the living
Lies they bring
flags flying
The discourses cemented
by guards demented

We live lies
White and black altars
stage for spies
Buzzing flies
find road to our inner skies
where the foot falters

Though tongue slips
I keep my head high
Smothered sigh
escapes lips
The word it aches for just quips
scorching my mouth dry

Hope duty
I reinvent sky
butterfly
Bright words fly
Lasting touches of beauty
embrace soft my eye

The loss of humanity

The loss of humanity

Withered lands
circling pools of blue
They breach through
humans’ hue
repeating blasts overheard
of acts untoward

We forsook
innocence repealed
Laughter pealed
Death revealed
the quaking knees they concealed
dire stances they took

Withered sigh
my bosom empty
as they die
smothered cry
The loss of humanity
burnt under their sky
