Everything Colorless

Edited by:  Randy Sturridge

Clones of shattered youth are born

Evacuated shells of previous generations

Emotionless days and vacant dinner tables

Hard tiled floors of a cultureless nation

Perpetuating activism fighting for others

Bi-products of war and deaths of mothers

Speeches of yesterday drown out the skies

Propelling future hopes of past mentioned times

Everything colorless with senses so plain

Society forgotten with faith in nation deranged

Clones built on promises of better days

Slowly accepting all these shades of grey

Word Wonderland

My objective apparent as I look in the air

Political heirs to remain objective and fair

 Exact the meaning for its effect         

Else you might indirectly affect

Start a wave of frequent reference

See the waves of perpetual omniscience

Power of the sea breaks upon peasants

Intellectuals throughout manipulate the mind

Threading thoughts conspiring like twine

Threads of posts consume a host

Parasitic surfers comment the most

Feeding the web a server now dead

Consumed by bytes by the digital arachnid

Time passes by, words wave goodbye

For those that remain their meaning is swayed

Take on new form or they adjourn

To settle for rebirth by mans ordinary curse

A graveyard of verbiage history forever lost

Words are the victim and knowledge the cost
