Caverns

programmed to lie

How do you tie your shoes

when you're tangled up in lies?

Methodologies, methodologies

programmed in your mind

seasonally debunked every single time

surrendering to --the instructional rhyme

Arguing with pick pocketers of the divine

Undermining the validity of the forces they unwind

By grasping meanings that you subjectively define

as a conscious that inherently is blind

Our love was purely chemical

A dependency undefined

by a chemist

who added

Additives

to an addict

and watched them define

carving carefully in caverns

laboratories by design

with nothing but

mediocracy

false democracy

unraveled by

nothin' but time.

About the Creator

Veronica

I am the moss silken on watered stones, rooted deep in rich soil. Earthen creature, I am the night sky -starry and strayed from the forgotten path of poets - I am, the chatter from the iron rails rattling as the train carries itself home.
