Eyeless authority,
spewing lies of grand design.
Refusing resignation…
promoting crystalline
connections,
And high power perfection.
Neglecting the way bees
disco a sick code
and groove about their day.
How they don't know
a quick road
to slowing down decay.
Because snakes climb trees
without arms or legs.
And lately I’m inclined
to resign my dismay.
Unneeded for reality
when the beauty lies in blank slates.
Get wildly out the box,
eat those packing peanuts,
and never let them tape you down.
Because the world isn’t perfect,
or practical,
or precise.
It’s a twisted hoard
of unplucked chords,
and feathered fish,
and scaled birds...
"how absurd!"
bark the bemused brainiacs.
See we get sick off candy,
and broccoli,
and chlorine.
We enjoy dancing
and breaking the rules.
We live life unapologetically,
in a reality where no one really cares,
and nothing even matters.
But we bask in absurdity
and hope for the best.
Because in the end
we’re just tiny specks
with big, big heads.

I don't live to write, I write to live.
Poetry is what I need in order to feel human again, and again.
Let me transform the unspeakable.
I hope my words can reach you.

Scaled birds and feathered fish, I especially loved that. And you're so right, we're definitely tiny specks with big heads hahaha. Loved your poem!
